About this organization
Mission
ChildSafe's mission is to restore dignity, hope, and trust to children traumatized by abuse and neglect. Before our creation, there were no city or county agencies to help child victims and their families through the healing process or coordinate the long and difficult journey through the adult-oriented justice system. Historically, information on cases was not shared between entities, efforts were rarely coordinated, and obtaining successful outcomes for victims was virtually impossible. Our vision is a community where every child has an opportunity to a safe and protected childhood – to grow up and develop intellectually and socially into strong, secure, and healthy adults. Breaking the cycle of abuse requires us to stand together with one voice to confront this issue with courage.
