TITLE: “Childhelp Foster Care & Adoption Services |”
SPECIAL GUEST: Kimberly Rogers
According to the studies conducted by departments of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Center for Disease Prevention:
- 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old,
- 9.0 % of reported child abuse cases were sexual abused, and
- 34% of people who sexually abuse a child are family members.
These staggering numbers should give everyone a moment of pause and bring our attention to the outstanding organizations taking up the gauntlet to change this travesty and make difference in the lives of at-risk youth.
Childhelp Foster Care & Adoption Agencies is one of the shining stars in this work, providing short and long-term therapeutic foster care to abused and neglected children. Kimberly Rogers, Childhelp’s Children’s Outreach Coordinator, states that in addition to meeting the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children, it is also critical to incorporate prevention, intervention, treatment, and community outreach,
They are licensed to recruit, screen, train, and certify foster care parents, Childhelp works to match children in need from any situation with warm, loving families who can provide a caring and safe environment.
Join us as Kimberly shares with our listeners how Childhelp moves through the entire placement process and further supports both foster parents and the children in their care to ensure a successful and long-term relationship and a forever home where they can meet their full potential.
