Help Us Provide Much Needed Services to Child Victims
Greetings!

We are facing many issues in todays world. Day after day we hear and learn about gun violence, drugs, or the ever present and evolving variants of the coronavirus. In todays media, we also hear and see the increasing floods and fires devastating our communities. So much tragedy and sadness. Another issue we face, and one we at Battle4Children are facing on a daily basis, is child sexual abuse.

This month's issue provides an article from healthline.com. It is the reason Battle4Children exists. Children who go without therapy usually turn to drugs, alcohol, prostitution. That's why 2022 has become the pivot point for Battle4Children as we look to not only provide awareness and help support organizations providing trauma specific therapy, but we also look to offer services as well. As a Christian organization, Battle4Children looks to offer a Christian Based Trauma Specific Therapeutic Service to child victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking and domestic violence. To accomplish this, as always, it takes dollars and volunteers. That's why we need you to help us build our volunteer base with like minded individuals who can work from home contacting businesses and the like, encouraging them to become a monthly donor or annual supporter. For those of you interested in joining us in taking on this task, please email us at battlebands4children@comcast.net.

Therapy for Childhood Trauma
Article by: Kirsten Schultz

References/Compliments to: Healthline.com
By age 16, more than two-thirds of children report experiencing at least one traumatic event, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Fortunately, the right therapy can help children, adolescents, teens, and adults find ways to heal and cope with the effects of traumatic experiences like abuse, community violence, natural disasters, neglect, and sudden loss of a loved one.
Here, we discuss childhood trauma, the different types, how it may affect you, signs to be aware of, and treatment options for children and adults. Click to continue reading.
WILL THE BATTLE RETURN?
As we head into the months ahead, we look at 2022 as being a year of contemplating the return of our annual Battle of Christian Bands. With COVID cases spiking and church doors limiting the number of guests, where do we turn to in order to find a host? The Battle was more of an informational event than a fundraising event. Over it's ten years in existence it averaged approximately $1500 a year. It became our biggest event annually, but not because of how much money that was brought in, more so, it was the number of people who not only heard God's Word, but they also were enlightened by the information received on cases of child sexual abuse and human trafficking and why we exist. With that said, 2022 remains the year we look to revive the Battle and look to 2023 to be the year of its return. Those of you interested in volunteering to be on the Battle Committee to help brainstorm locations and more, please contact us at battlebands4children@comcast.net
