Children who experience abuse and neglect, often face significant challenges that hinder their ability to mature, socialize, and function as adults. Many adults struggling to overcome adversity can trace their hardships back to a childhood trauma. St. Catherine's Child and family service strives to address these challenges early in life. Serving at-risk children and youths - as we have for more than 135 years - remains a critical part of our work.

In honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, St. Catherine's continues the conversation surrounding child abuse. Spreading awareness is a critical step in reducing and preventing these tragedies from occurring to the children in our communities.
