The Power of SAFEchild: Participant Stories

Former participants in SAFEchild’s parent/caregiver education and support programs discuss how their lives – and their families – have changed thanks to SAFEchild.

“

  • I am still using so many of the tools that you taught me. Even though my situation is still not ideal, we are making the best of it. We are happy and healthy!

    - A MOVE participant

  • Thank you for coming to our class and telling us about who we can talk to when we have funny tummy feelings.

    A 1st grader who received the Funny Tummy Feelings program

  • I witness the power of change as it happens within each group. It is like watching a light go on as they realize what they can do and that they are indeed strong and powerful. I am left feeling hopeful for the future of the women and children that have been served.

    - A MOVE program volunteer

  • "I now understand that no parent is perfect. Being a parent is a beautiful thing, but it takes patience, hard work and dedication!”
