We need your support to help vulnerable children like Mason. 

No child deserves to experience the trauma of domestic violence.

Yet, estimates reveal that over two million children across Australia endure abuse within their homes, before reaching the age of 15.

Today, your compassionate gift will mean that children like Mason are supported and empowered to transcend their trauma.

Clad in pyjamas, Mason's eyes were fixed on the television with the volume set to an extreme. 

He sought refuge in distractions to cope with the overwhelming distress he endured, witnessing domestic violence since infancy.

For children, the effects of domestic violence ripple into challenges in relationships, learning, and self-esteem, persisting well into adulthood.

You can help transform the lives of children like Mason.

Mother and young son with blue eyes.

 


Mason was labelled as 'non-verbal' until he received support from CatholicCare Victoria.

Mason's experiences for family violence left him feeling isolated and he struggled to articulate his pain.

He was missing the key elements for a nurtured, safe and cheerful childhood - laughter, play, routine and the bond with his primary caregiver.

Children like Mason need your support to be able to access to counselling and compassionate support.


Your generous donation will allow children to reclaim their childhood. You can help transform their lives.

 

By donating today, your gift today will:
  1. Help children learn essential coping mechanisms to manage stress, anxiety and challenging situations
  2. Provide counselling sessions for children like Mason, to help address mental health and wellbeing challenges;
  3. Provide families with the support they need to give their children a brighter future.
