Explore Issues Related to Family Violence

 

Many children who have experienced or witnessed family violence
suffer severe and disabling symptoms of distress. The developmental, emotional and psychological injuries caused by family violence are often underestimated.

 

CHANCE is a nonprofit organization devoted to advocacy and education. Our focus is to:

 

• Train professionals such as social workers, teachers, lawyers and doctors on the impact family violence has on children and how to better serve their clients
• Provide parenting strategies in a home-based visitation program for those parenting in the aftermath of family violence
• Offer nonviolent choices for children
• Collaborate with existing programs to enhance support services to families
