Dear Friend,
This spring, we’re sharing a difficult truth. For many children and youth who have experienced abuse or crime, the impact doesn’t end when the harm stops.
It can live on in anxiety, in fear, in sleepless nights and overwhelming thoughts.
Children like Jenna.* When Jenna first came to us, she was quiet and withdrawn. She stayed close to her caregiver, unsure who she could trust.
But with the right support, something powerful can begin to change.
At Child Witness Centre, children and youth are met with compassionate, trauma-informed care that helps them begin to feel safe again.
- They begin to understand what they’ve experienced.
- They learn ways to cope with difficult thoughts and emotions.
- They rebuild confidence, connection, and a sense of control.
Right now, your gift will be matched – doubling your impact. All donations will be matched up to $5,000, thanks to Badge of Hope.
That means twice the support, twice the care, and twice the opportunity for a child like Jenna to begin healing.
Warmest regards,
Robin Heald | Executive Director
