There are thousands of hurting children in Indiana. They are in the child welfare system due to abuse or neglected home. They struggle in school due to life trauma or challenges and they face mental health issues. At child advocates, we serve foster children. We help children succeed in school and we host workshops to create collaborative workplaces and caring communities and to nurture a sense of

belonging for all children and youth. We seek justice, access to opportunity, and well-being

for children. Learn more at child advocates.net.
