CANOPY CENTER IS SAFETY, ADVOCACY & HEALING Last year, STAND UP FOR KIDs helped us support over 250 children and youth in Dane and Columbia County.

VOLUNTEER IMPACT You've done uniquely wonderful work with this youth.

I think you are the most important and influential person to come to them through "the system." Thank you on behalf of everyone.

Program updates Canopy Center provides stabilizing services and therapeutic treatment for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect.

CASA of Dane & Columbia Counties An Anti-Trafficking Initiative Lead was established in order to better support the roughly 25% of children and youth CASA is serving who have experienced or are at risk for sex trafficking. For reference, this number was 5%, just three years ago.

Oasis Mental Health Clinic Sexual Abuse Treatment Program With support from private funders, Oasis was able to re-introduce group therapy programs. We are grateful to be able to offer this space and community, for adult survivors of child sexual abuse. The summer we will be offering group therapy programs for pre-teens and teens.

Parent to Child Supervised Visitation Parent to Child recently celebrated a graduate from their parent education program - another way we are working to support healthy parent-child relationships.
