About this service
When children witness abuse, they can suffer from anxiety, depression, a loss of self-esteem, emotional trauma, and even a reduced ability to trust. These and other problems can have important and negative affects on the way they perform in school, and their ability to relate to their friends and bond with family members.
Our PEACE program helps children and youth understand their experiences and develop skills and capacities that will enable them to deal with their histories in healthy ways. We help kids to:
- Express feelings in a healthy way
- Understand that they are not responsible for the violence
- Develop a safety plan
- Identify support networks
- Recognize their strengths and increase their self-confidence
- Identify cycles of violence
- Explore myths about violence and violence in the media
- Improve school performance and social skills
- Develop strong conflict resolution skills
Who can use it?
Children and youth who have witnessed abuse.
