Did you know?
Did you know that domestic violence impacts the entire family? Research shows that 40% of children living in homes with domestic violence are also directly abused themselves (Appel & Holden, 1998). Children exposed to this level of trauma are at a much higher risk for long-term health, social, and legal disparities as adults.
To break this generational cycle of family violence, we have to meet trauma with a pathway to healing. That is what does through .
As the first evidence-based camping and mentoring program in the United States specifically for children exposed to domestic violence, Camp HOPE America uses a trauma-informed curriculum to restore a sense of childhood. By combining a transformative week of overnight outdoor camp with structured, year-round group mentorship, we help trauma-exposed youth build measurable resilience, discover their strengths, and find hope.
When we invest in the healing of our children, we change the trajectory of entire families. This , let's advocate for the wraparound support services and trauma-informed programs that give youth a brighter future.
