Causes: Child Abuse Prevention, Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Crime & Law, Domestic Violence, Foster Care, Hot Lines & Crisis Intervention, Mental Health, Suicide Prevention
Mission: Childhelp exists to meet the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children. We focus our efforts on advocacy, prevention, treatment and community outreach.
Results: Over 11,000,000 children helped since 1959.
Target demographics: Children that have experienced abuse and neglect.
Geographic areas served: United States
Programs: Prevention, Intervention and Treatment services.
Prevention: The first step of Childhelp’s approach to ending child abuse is to prevent the cycle of child abuse from continuing. There are clear links among child maltreatment and future violence perpetration or victimization; studies show that about 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse children, continuing this horrible cycle. We believe the key to preventing child abuse is education and awareness, which is exactly what our prevention programs provide. Childhelp Speak Up Be Safe is an evidence-based child abuse prevention education program with fully scripted, age-appropriate lessons in grades PK-12, plus in-depth facilitator training. Lessons build safety skills and resistance strategies to help youth prevent and interrupt various types of abuse – physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, bullying, and cyberabuse.
Intervention: The next step of Childhelp’s approach to ending child abuse is dedicated to intervention and removal of children from abusive and dangerous situations. More than 80% of the children who die as a result of child abuse or neglect are not yet old enough for kindergarten, making it impossible for them to remove themselves from harmful situations. Childhelp’s Intervention Programs are dedicated to intervening and preventing these children from becoming part of the statistic.
Treatment:Another step of the Childhelp approach is helping to treat children who have been affected by child abuse. The issue is substantial; a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds, which means we have a lot of work to do to help treat these children. Childhelp’s treatment programs exist to give children a safe haven with love and the tools needed to overcome their damaging pasts.
