Dear Friend,
When your childhood is marked by fear and harm, hope can feel out of reach and false feelings of guilt and shame can take root – leading to many negative life outcomes. But with the right support for child and youth victims journeying through the justice system, healing begins, and futures become brighter.
As we approach the end of 2025, we’re asking for your urgent support for young survivors in our community!
The impact our services have for young people to move forward from their trauma is difficult to overstate. One grandparent shared, “If these services were not available when our granddaughter needed them during a very troublesome time… I feel we would’ve lost our battle to keep her grounded and safe.”
At Child Witness Centre, we stand with young survivors as they reclaim their power and rebuild their tomorrow. It’s only possible through your generosity – especially as we push back against the threat of a waitlist for kids returning. Every child and youth in need deserves our immediate support.
Thank you for caring and choosing to help young survivors of abuse and crime. Together, we are making it possible for much greater life stories.
Warmest Regards,
Robin Heald | Executive Director

I’m so grateful for this amazing new video (above), which was sponsored and produced by the Aubrey & Marla Dan Foundation (AMDF). While performed by actors, it represents the way we’ve changed thousands of lives over the years. As a survivor, it moved me to tears – the emotions of survivorship are captured beautifully and honestly.
Our immense gratitude to William Knell & Company Limited for matching donations to our Holiday Campaign up to a total of $20,000 – and to all donors who helped us reach this amount. Thank you!
