Our Child Development programs and services provide children of all ages purpose-driven activity groups to provide hope, safety, connection, and education in a safe, supportive environment. The trained Child Mentor staff engage and encourage the children to participate in out-of-school-time activities to provide consistent and nurturing support for survivors and their children.
Child Mentors are at Rio Bend and the Emergency Shelter which offers PlayCare for the younger children when survivor parents need time to work on themselves. Child Mentor staff also provides homework assistance, school supplies if needed, assistance with making transportation arrangements with the school, and even accompanying parents to school meetings (with consent) to discuss a child's special needs if necessary.
