Nearly 3,000 children per year in the United States lose a parent to intimate partner homicide (IPH). These child survivors often need mentorship from adults who can be there for them.
Research finds that children who have a stable and consistent relationship with a caring adult:
? Benefit from the protective factor it provides.
? Are assisted with building resiliency.
? Experience better outcomes in the healing process.
The Arizona Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative's (ACASI) mission is to develop a multi-county trauma-informed care system to provide wraparound services to children who have lost a parent to intimate partner homicide.
What makes a good mentor?
? A sincere desire to be involved with a child/young person
? Active listening skills
? Empathy
? Ability to see solutions and opportunities
? Flexibility
ACASI provides free, specialized training to identified stakeholders, community partners, providers, and volunteers to address the needs of this vulnerable group of children.
