The Child Witness to Violence Project (CWVP) provides free, specialized counseling, advocacy, and outreach services focused on children and youth who have been exposed to domestic violence, community violence, or other trauma-related events. We are committed to helping children make sense of these events so that they can heal and move past their traumatic experiences.
