Supporting Every Child, Every Family
Every parent needs help from time to time.
We offer services for every family, from those who just need a little extra help to those who are deeply struggling with risk factors like substance abuse, health issues, domestic violence, financial hardship, or chronic stress. Regardless of the circumstance, we help parents and caregivers to become the best they can be so their child develops into the best person they can be — healthy, happy, productive members of society.
“At champions, we know that families are the most precious assets in our communities – so we walk alongside parents and caregivers to provide them with the supports they need to be the best role model in their child’s life.”
How Do We Prevent Child Abuse?
Provide Parents with Education and Support
One of the most important ways we make a better world for children is by making sure their parents have the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to provide a positive environment. We provide education and individualized support to help families reduce their sources of stress, build positive attachments, and enhance their understanding of healthy child development.
Work with Parents and Children Together to Build Strong Bonds
Our “two-generation” parent-child educational programs support parents/caregivers and children and the special relationship that they share. We offer essential resources for children to develop their social and emotional skills and foster parental confidence and knowledge by allowing parents to watch, understand and become a part of their kids’ growth.
Raise Understanding & Awareness in Our Community
We provide education and resources to children, adults and institutions in our community on how we can work together to build strong families with thriving children. From children who find the courage to come forward about abuse to local doctors who talk to patients about their child’s development, our community education initiatives help make Tampa Bay a better place to grow up.
