Description
The Rowan-Virtua CARES Institute provides specialized medical and mental health services for children and families who have experienced abuse, trauma, and other adverse life experiences.
Through these services, our providers regularly identify a need for educational resources that families can use once they leave our offices. In addition, all children need books of their own to read; this promotes literacy and healthy development.
This project will establish a Healing Library that will allow families to select and keep books relevant to their developmental, emotional, and educational needs.
By offering personalized, provider-curated books that promote literacy, healing, healthy relationships, boundaries, consent, safety, communication, and child development, the program supports both emotional well-being and lifelong learning.
Your support will build a Healing Library that provides free books, stickers, and small comfort items to children, adolescents, and families receiving medical and mental health services.
