An online blog for those helping to break the cycle of domestic violence 

Category: Children’s Programs

On average, almost half of those housed in Rose Brooks Center’s emergency shelter are children. It’s why a large portion of one of our facilities is dedicated to our youngest clients.
As many of you know, our school-based prevention program is called Project SAFE™, and it’s been an important community partner of the Jackson County school system for 32 years!
Last year, Rose Brooks housed hundreds of children in emergency shelter. Of those, 46% were five years old or under.
Every year, Rose Brooks Center’s Children’s Program provides comfort and safety for those who are the youngest victims of domestic violence.
Summer at Rose Brooks Center is often filled with fun and laughter, much to the efforts of staff, volunteers, and partners who want to help create memories for the families living at Rose Brooks.
One of the very first programs that Rose Brooks Center established since opening its shelter in 1979 was the Children’s Program. Created in 1980, the program sought to help address the incredible emotional needs of those also impacted by domestic violence - the children.
