Child Services
Children who experience abuse and neglect, often face significant challenges that hinder their ability to mature, socialize, and function as adults. Many adults struggling to overcome adversity can trace their hardships back to a childhood trauma. St. Catherine’s Child and family service strives to address these challenges early in life. Serving at-risk children and youths – as we have for more than 135 years – remains a critical part of our work.
