You can take a child out of a violent environment but
it will take years to take the violent environment out
of the child.
Every year
more than 3 million children witness family violence
and the cycle is handed down from one generation to the
next. This familial learning imprints and leaves
permanent scars in the hearts where innocence once
lived. Family violence is literally beating the hope,
joy and love out of our kids. Traumatized children and
the emotional complications that result are heavily
costing society. More children are being tried as
adults and incarcerated, we are filling juvenile
detention centers faster than we can build them, foster
care is on the rise and mental detectors are needed
just to go to school. We are in an epidemic and
something needs to be done. Family abuse is senseless
and preventable. Since 1996, CHANCE (Changing How
Adults Nurture Children’s Egos), a non-profit
organization has worked with agencies and families to
teach replacement skills so children can regain their
childhood. Our mission is to make family violence
socially unacceptable for the sake of the children.
Please help us by joining our
cause!
