Take a stand for every child and family facing trauma and adversity.

Help families heal through connection. Because childhood trauma is everyone’s trauma, but it does not have to determine anyone’s future.

C H I L D H A V E N These are all examples of the type of trauma and adversity that can have long term, damaging effects on the development of young children.

HOMELESSNESS. MENTAL ILLNESS. ADDICTION. FLEEING VIOLENCE.

LOSING A PARENT

EXPERIENCING COMMUNITY VIOLENCE

BEING BULLIED OR SEEING BULLYING

CONSISTENTLY NOT HAVING ENOUGH TO EAT

EXPERIENCE OF RACISM

PROBLEM DRUG & ALCOHOL USE

PROLONGED STRESS & UNCERTAINTY CAUSED BY POVERTY

NOT HAVING A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP

WHY CAN THESE EXPERIENCES BE SO LIFECHANGING FOR CHILDREN?

BUT THERE’S HOPE AND YOU ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

Toxic stress from trauma disrupts brain development in young children and left untreated, can lead to homelessness, developmental and academic challenges, suicide, drug use, incarceration. It is also linked to long term health challenges such as mental illness, cancer, heart disease, and even shortened lifespan.

Help us treat the ROOT of the problem, ensuring that the trauma and adversity experienced early in life does not determine a child’s future.

AT C H I L D H A V E N , WE BELIEVE NURTURING RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE SOLUTION.

Early nurturing relationships buffer the impact of adversity, build emotional literacy and resilience, and lay the foundation for lifelong health and well-being.

All our programs and services honor the central role that family and community play in HELPING EVERY CHILD THRIVE.

THE KEY TO OVERCOMING TRAUMA IS MEANINGFUL HUMAN CONNECTION.

It is a baby nestled within a community of grownups who lovingly respond to her needs.

It is a toddler who trusts that adults will keep him safe and help him navigate his big feelings.

It is a young child who not only regularly hears the words ‘I love you’ but deeply feels it is true.

It is a teen who feels worthy because she is seen, heard, and understood by people who truly care.

It is an adult who is surrounded by the nurturing care that supports their capacity to nurture the little people in their life.

C H I L D H AV E N partners with families and with YOU, OUR COMMUNITY, to promote healing through connection.
