Together we help Change Lives!
Domestic violence is frightening, abusive and sometimes fatal. The damange is both physcial and emotion for the victims, however, for young children, studies show that the affects are both significant and far-reaching. Experiencing abuse - whether as a direct victim or as an observer - has a profound affect on the developing brain of a child. Self-esteem, the ability to learn, sleep patterns and physical health are all affected and begin a chain reaction that can change the course of the rest of a child's life. For this reason, SBCS established Mi Escuelita Therapeutic Preschool and Casas Seguras programs to not only offer intervention and shelter, but prevention to stop the cycle of violence.
