FACTS > ABUSE & TRAUMA
VOICES EMPOWERED serves children and families who are victims and survivors of abuse and/or trauma. Trauma may include crime victimization, witnessing violence or experiencing childhood abuse or domestic violence. Trauma may also result from things like war or natural disasters. Basically, traumatic experiences can take any person and change their perceptions on safety or trust.
Although VOICES EMPOWERED services children and families who have experienced all types of trauma, our focus is on family violence such as child maltreatment and domestic violence.
