Children’s Programming

DAWN offers trauma-informed children’s programming, services, and advocacy for families through an in-home curriculum-based program for families. We offer on-going support for the non-abusive parent and their children to lessen the impacts of experiencing domestic violence.  The program objectives include individualized safety planning, conflict resolution skills building, anger education, emotional coaching and on-going advocacy. To access this program, please contact our children’s advocate at: 253-569-6629.

In addition, DAWN partners with Sound Mental Health through the Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team (CDVRT) to connect children and their non-abusive parent with individual mental health counseling and resources. This trauma-informed and empowerment-based service is provided by a team of professionals using a wrap-around model to offer integrated advocacy and mental health services, led by the survivor’s assessment of what is needed for their family. To access this program, please contact the CDVRT Advocate at 253-569-6773.
