One in ten children will experience child abuse before the age of 18 but only one in ten of those affected, will ever tell. It is our hope that every child who experiences abuse will have the chance to walk through our doors and get hope, healing and justice. You can do your part by recognizing the signs and reporting. If you have any questions or want to learn more about doing your part, visit https://lnkd.in/gjUq-UPR or reach out to us through our website.

We’re starting a series spotlighting our staff! 💡We’re excited to kick off our first with Family Engagement Specialist, Brayden. We asked him a few questions below: Q: What do you like most about your job? A: I love seeing the kids everyday while watching them grow and flourish into amazing people. Q: What motivates you in your personal and professional life? A: My friends and family motivate me the most. Q: What do you like to do for fun or in your free time? A: In my free time I’m most likely either taking care of my house plants or in the gym. Q: Tell me a little about your family. A: I’m from a small town and live with my mom, dad, and brother. Q: What’s a silly fact about you? A: I say I’m 6 feet but really, I’m 5’11! 😂 We’re so grateful to have Brayden on our team! Our Family Engagement Specialists run our Activity Center and are essential to providing professional care and supervision to children while onsite. Parents can utilize our Activity Center for their kiddos when onsite, so they have a safe space to get therapy themselves or speak with a family advocate. #StaffSpotlight #FamilyEngagement #ChildCare #ActivityCenter #ProfessionalCare

Texas has both civil and criminal laws to protect children from abuse and neglect. If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, the law requires that you report it. We strongly advise calling BOTH the Texas Abuse Hotline and your local law enforcement to file a report. We thank you for doing your part! #ChildProtection #TexasLaw #AbusePrevention #ProtectChildren #ReportAbuse #ChildSafety #AbuseAwareness
