Strong Families
Barbara Bush

“You know, sit with your
arm around a little kid
and read. It not only
teaches them to read,
but it keeps the
family strong.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Kennedy

“One of the primary purposes
of civilization – and certainly
its primary strength – is the guarantee that family life
can flourish in unity,
peace, and order.”

”Ohana
means family,
and family means
nobody gets
left behind
or forgotten.”

A Chance to Reconnect
At Emily’s Place, we provide a safe space where domestic violence survivors and their children can begin to restore family connections. Since children who have experienced domestic violence often need help trusting their mothers again, families participate in experiences and excursions designed to rebuild the parent-child bond. And our community partners offer classes that help mothers improve their parenting skills.
