Children
& Teens

Our Youth Services are for children and teens who have witnessed and/or experienced domestic abuse and/or dating violence. Youth Advocates work one-on-one with youth ages 4-19 to help them process trauma, de-normalize abuse, learn aspects of healthy relationships, build positive coping skills, and grow their self-confidence. These efforts help interrupt the cycle of abuse and prevent it from repeating.

In addition to one-on-one Advocacy, we provide Prevention Education presentations to thousands of elementary, middle, and high school youth each year. These presentations teach youth about healthy friendships and dating relationships, red flags of abuse, how to help someone else, and the services available through Christine Ann.

Our Youth Team facilitates support groups focused on healthy relationship alongside community partners – these groups are for school-age youth. We also have an LGBTQ+ specific group for high school students. Reach out to our Youth Team Lead for further information.
