About CHILD Inc.
CHILD, Inc. has been serving the Delaware community since 1963. Our mission is to be the leading advocate for Delaware’s children. Through our prevention, intervention, and treatment programs, CHILD, Inc. strives to positively impact the children and families we serve to enable them to live fulfilling lives free from violence. Our programs meet the changing needs of families.
CHILD, Inc. is committed to helping solve the problems associated with domestic violence and child maltreatment through its community-based programs, safety planning with clients, including assistance with protection from abuse petition filings, and shelter services for children and families.
We provide 24-hour hotline services and emergency shelter to victims of domestic violence and their children at two shelter locations in New Castle County, Delaware. We also provide rapid rehousing services for families exiting our shelters to ensure they have safe, stable, and permanent housing.
Our youth emergency shelter, 24-hour runaway hotline and emergency beds for runaway youth, and foster care program provide children and teens with safety, age-appropriate programming and case management in a home environment. We provide advocacy to ensure that youth receive services from state agencies, schools, and community organizations to meet their needs. Through our runaway prevention workshops and anger management for youth sessions, we provide children/youth with information/resources, strategies, and tools to keep them safe.
For over 25 years, we have operated a community-based family resource center and provided services for children/youth in the high needs community of Sparrow Run in New Castle County.
Parenting education classes and workshops are offered statewide to parent/caregivers of children from birth through teenage years. We offer specialized parenting programs for families who are in recovery from substance use, and for parents who are divorcing/separating including those who have experienced intimate partner violence in their relationships. We also offer clinical services to parents who are separating to assist with their co-parenting skills.
CHILD, Inc. offers clinical treatment services to all members of families affected by domestic violence. We offer domestic violence offender intervention programming to those who perpetrate intimate partner violence, we offer treatment for victims of domestic violence, and specialized treatment for children who have been victims or witnesses to domestic violence in their homes.
Through our Family Visitation Center, Community Health Workers, and Domestic Violence Court Advocacy programs, CHILD, Inc. supports survivors of domestic violence in the community.
