Children’s Services

The Children’s Program advocates for the rights and needs of children in the shelter and in the community who have experienced domestic violence. We assist children in crisis and in transition through one-on-one mentoring and educational and supportive playgroups for children ages 3-12. We work with parents to aide them in parenting in the midst and/or aftermath of living with domestic violence.

The Children’s Program provides the following services:

• Age appropriate play groups (ages 3-12).
• One-on-one advocacy and support for children and youth.
• Assistance in enrollment in day care, school, summer programs.
• Mental health, educational and social network referral and advocacy.
• One on one advocacy and support for children and youth.
• Parenting support, educational, referral and skills development.
• Community consultation, education and training as it relates to children, youth and domestic violence.
