You Can Change Children’s Lives for the Better This Holiday!

The holidays are a time of hope and celebration, but for victims of domestic violence and their children, every day is stressful and uncertain. Over 10,000 children in our community witness family violence each year. The pandemic has made things worse as victims and children are further isolated and in danger while stuck at home more with their abusers.

However, you can change children’s lives for the better. With your help, Empowerhouse continues to support survivors, especially their children, as we Empower a New Generation by providing the resources for greater self-esteem, better self-care, and the skills for a healthy relationship.

and to use positive self-talk."

Thanks to friends like you, our Youth Resiliency Team has put additional caring, creative services into place to further engage and empower children in our Shelter and Housing Program, including:

Supportive and reassuring services through phone calls, texts, and video chats to help children through trauma by maintaining a schedule for check-ins to build trust and consistency.
Creating activity folders and boxes for children to have projects to do with their families.
Supporting children in the Shelter by creating sensory stations to provide fun distractions.
Assisting children with school-related assignments and communication skills.
Delivering activities like "seeds of hope" planting kits for our families to spend time together.
Coping skills and an outlet for age-appropriate discussions about COVID-19 to build resilience.

This is the positive impact that our services make on young people as we help strengthen them to remain positive about the future – opportunities made possible by your support.
