Comfort for children in crisis

When a child leaves a violent home, they often leave quickly – and with nothing. The Alannah & Madeline Foundation provides Buddy Bags for those children. They’re backpacks, packed with care and love. Each bag has a teddy bear to give comfort, and essentials like new toothbrush, PJs and clean underwear and socks.

Therapy to help children heal

Without expert support, trauma can impact every part of a child’s life. The Children Ahead program provides intensive, one-on-one therapy to children who’ve experienced violence. It gives them the help they need to process what they’ve been through, and leave their trauma behind.

The Alannah & Madeline Foundation also offers online safety workshops and supports educators working with children impacted by trauma.

Thank you for your support!
