Child Enrichment

Prevention tip of the week

It is important that children have someone that they can trust and go to for support. Children are more likely to share what's going on in their lives with a trusted adult.

If you are a trusted adult, make sure to listen respectfully, offer a safe space, and help them navigate difficult situations.

We were honored to join The Exchange Club of Augusta for their annual Donation Day and are incredibly grateful for their years of support of Child Enrichment and the children and families we serve. 💙
Community partners like the Exchange Club help make it possible for us to continue providing advocacy, healing, and hope to children across our region. Thank you for your continued investment in creating safer futures for children.

My Loved One and Me: June Edition🐳☀️🏖️

We had a blast yesterday morning! We did some awesome activities like reading books, making cute fish headbands, and did some sensory activities as well. They even got to play with our parachute outside. Our little ones not only got to have fun, but they also got the chance to bond and learn with their caregivers today. We'll see everyone again at our next My Loved One and Me.🐬🐟

Our next My Loved One and Me event will be July 14th ,2026. Stay tuned for more information on our next event!⛺🎆

We will be providing a virtual in-service training session for CASA volunteers on June 24th at 6 pm. During this training session we will go over how to recognize mental health challenges in youth, understanding trauma's impact, and how to advocate effectively for appropriate resources and support. 📝

This virtual session is open to the public and is also a great opportunity for people who are interested in becoming a CASA volunteer can learn more about CASA and what they do.

A special thank you to Commander Coffee for sponsoring this community event! ☕💙

You can encourage a child to trust their gut feeling by:
- Reassuring them they won't get in trouble for sharing uncomfortable feelings.
- Practicing “what if” situations
These practices can help a child feel comfortable to express themselves and can help promote safety for the child as well!
