Domestic and Sexual Violence 24-Hour Hotline 703-360-7273; TTY 711
SAFETY ALERT – If you are in danger, call or text 911.
The Step Up 4 Kids Caring 4 Kids video series is designed to help adults understand how they can support children and families that may be facing challenging events. The videos deal with children who experience:
- Domestic violence,
- Child abuse and neglect,
- Mental health concerns; and
- Childhood trauma.
An adult does not need special training to support a child and help them find additional resources they may need!
Each video does four things:
- They explain the hardship or adversity;
- They help adults learn warning signs of the hardship;
- They teach how the difficulty can impact a child over time; and, most importantly,
- How adults can help a child about whom they may be concerned.
