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:

1. Domestic violence, 
2. Child abuse and neglect, 
3. Mental health concerns; and 
4. 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:

1. They explain the hardship or adversity;
2. They help adults learn warning signs of the hardship;
3. They teach how the difficulty can impact a child over time; and, most importantly,
4. How adults can help a child about whom they may be concerned.

After viewing the videos, visit the following pages to learn more about available resources and how to help a child:

• Children and Domestic Violence: Step Up 4 Kids and Domestic Violence 24-Hour Hotline
• Child Abuse and Neglect: Department of Family Services Children and Families
• Children and Mental Health: Healthy Minds Fairfax and Community Services Board
• Children and Trauma: 3 to Succeed
