Mission Statement
Childhaven heals children and families to stop the cycle of abuse and neglect. Founded in 1909, Childhaven is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides healing care to abused, neglected and chemically affected babies, toddlers and preschoolers. We have branches in the greater Seattle area where more than 300 children a year receive childhood trauma therapy. We also work with parents to help them learn how to care for and nurture their children and to manage their behavior positively and consistently.
About This Cause
Since 1909, Childhaven has been a safe and caring place for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Today, we are a community leader, statewide advocate and national model in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. Using innovative, proven approaches to child development in a therapeutic day care environment, we heal old hurts and nurture young lives. By strengthening family and child relationships and improving parenting skills, we break the cycle of abuse and neglect and create a foundation for lifelong loving relationships. Childhood Trauma Therapy – Children referred to us by child welfare authorities receive developmentally-focused care and treatment in an enriched learning environment with very low child-to-staff ratios. Drug-Affected Infant Program – Children affected by their parents’ substance abuse (including in utero) receive care and treatment while their parents are enrolled in outpatient chemical dependency programs. Wrap-around services – Health screenings, two balanced meals a day, door-to-door transportation to and from our branches, monthly home visits and daily home monitoring. Parent education – Through individual and group support, and a new program that uses videotaping and feedback, parents gain skills and confidence to better care for and nurture their children.
