At Childhaven, we are inspired every day by the children who come through our doors. As they learn to trust again, as they heal, as their fears subside and their laughter returns, they teach us lessons about resilience and hope. We also are inspired by our dedicated staff members, so knowledgeable and caring, who share their knowledge and experience with families and caregivers so that they can raise strong and happy children. And, we’re inspired by our donors and volunteers, without whom we simply could not do the work we do. Here are a few stories of advice that we are proud to share.
Everyone has a role in preventing child abuse and neglect
