Shelter
Y's Kids (Children Who Witness Family Conflict/Violence)
Objectives
- to provide a safe place where children can express emotional
issues
- to help children learn how to express feelings honestly
and directly
- to improve the self-esteem of each child
- to help children understand how violence has affected
them
- to help children learn they are not alone in their experiences
- to teach children non-violent problem solving
- to teach parents about the cycle of violence and help
them understand how this impacts the family
The YWCA Regina, with funding through the Saskatchewan Justice
Victim's Services Fund, recognizes the importance of assisting
children in breaking the cycle of violence and abuse before
the patterns are fully established in their adult years.
