If you're looking for an exceedingly worthy cause for your year-end giving on #ColoradoGivesDay2024, look no further than Safe Passage Children's Advocacy Center What happens when kids are abused and have to go through "the system"? Well, before Safe Passage, they had to individually navigate each criminal justice and social services agency on their own. Imagine being a kid going through the worst possible moment of your life, and having to be questioned about it repeatedly by police, healthcare workers, district attorneys, mental health providers, foster care providers, and so on. And that's assuming you even know about any of those social services, and that you have an adult advocate to drive you around to their different facilities all across town, and so on. No matter how well-meaning each individual agency may be, they can't take responsibility for the big picture. But Safe Passage can, and does. Child victims come to the Safe Passage facility, which *co-locates* representatives from all of these agencies, and shepherds the kiddos through them. Kids get questioned ONCE, by a professional forensic interviewer who provides all the care and support and dignity the child needs, while also being skilled at ensuring their testimony will stand up in court. Kids then have access to on-site medical, mental health, housing services, and so on. It's the only co-located facility of its kind in Colorado. I know there are a ton of worthy organizations out there, but as Treasurer for Safe Passage, I can say with 100% certainty that your gifts will truly and directly help these kids. Thank you for anything you can give! https://lnkd.in/gi6HBNM5
