Children are often the unseen victims of domestic violence, facing trauma and instability that can affect their emotional and psychological well-being. At Dekomforter Resource Foundation (DRF), we understand the unique challenges that children in crisis experience, and we are committed to providing them with the support they need to heal and thrive.

The Impact of Domestic Violence on Children

Research shows that children who witness domestic violence are at a higher risk of developing emotional and behavioral problems. They may experience anxiety, depression, and difficulties in school, impacting their overall development. It is crucial to address these issues through targeted support and intervention.

Our Programs for Children

DRF offers a range of services specifically designed to support young survivors, including:

• Counseling Services: Individual and group therapy sessions help children process their experiences, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.
• Art and Play Therapy: Creative therapies provide a safe outlet for self-expression, allowing children to communicate their feelings and experiences in non-verbal ways.
• Educational Support: We offer tutoring and homework assistance to help children succeed academically and regain a sense of normalcy.
• Safe Spaces: DRF provides safe environments where children can play, socialize, and engage in enriching activities away from the stressors of their home life.
• Family Support Services: We work with families to create a supportive network, fostering healing and stability for children and their caregivers.

Success Stories: Children Who Have Thrived

Many children have benefited from DRF’s programs, gaining confidence, developing new skills, and finding joy in their lives again. By sharing their success stories, we aim to highlight the importance of targeted support for the youngest survivors and inspire hope in other families facing similar challenges.
