Every child that enters our doors has suffered trauma as a result of the abuse they have experienced. Our mission is to heal the harm and put the pieces back together. Most of the children have low self esteem and lack social skills; some are fearful or anxious, while others display inappropriate sexual knowledge or aggressive behaviour.
