The "Child Watch Project" is designed to serve
children and their families who are experiencing emotional,
psychological and behavior difficulties as a result of being
exposed, impacted or affected by a criminal act, an act of violence
such as assault, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse,
domestic violence and homicide. Many children who are victims of
crime, abuse and neglect become casualties in our Foster Care and
Juvenile Justice systems if prevention and treatment services are
not provided to them and their families. Child Watch provides:
crisis intervention, information and referral, parent and child
advocacy support, training, counseling, individualized service and
safety plans. Common feelings felt by these children are: Fear,
Anger, Hopelessness, Guilt, Shame, Anxiety, Stress, Aggressiveness
and Helplessness.
