Voices of Courage supports children in abusive and neglectful situations. The organization aims to give each child a voice to share their story and find justice.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- One local organization is offering support and guidance to parents and caregivers to educate them more about how trauma affects children.

Voices of Courage will hold one-hour meetings once a week for 10 weeks for anyone caring for a child or youth who has experienced trauma.

Attendees will learn the effects of trauma, how to provide trauma-informed care, trauma myths, and the power of empathy, vulnerability and resiliency.

The program is facilitated by Sydney Couldry, the outreach coordinator at Voices of Courage, and Corina Merritt, a child and family advocate at Voices of Courage.

To learn more about program dates, times and registration, contact Sydney Couldry at (816) 232-1744 or email sydney@voicescac.org.
