Just for the children Childrens Resource Library Children's Worker Resources Through a Child's Eyes
This booklet, produced by the Statewide Children's Resource Program, may assist you to help a child through their experiences of family violence and/or homelessness. It contains children's stories in their own words and pcitures.
Homelessness and/or family violence can have a serious impact on a child's mental and physical health and overall developmental progress. It is important to remember that only the person choosing to use violence, in any form, is responsible for the resulting effects of that violence.
