Prevention
More often than not, perpetrators of child abuse were abused themselves as children.
In order to stop the cycle of abuse Santa Rosa Kids’ House staff members participate in community outreach to increase public awareness about healthy relationships, child abuse and the recovery process.


Education & Professional Development
With its two conference rooms and kitchen facilities, the Santa Rosa Kids’ House is uniquely designed to host professional meetings, inter-agency collaborative and professional training on issues relating to child abuse and child abuse prevention.



Santa Rosa Kids House Financial Support
The Santa Rosa Kids’ House relies on community donations and grant funding for its operations. All services provided by the agencies that comprise the Multidisciplinary Team at the Santa Rosa Kids’ House are funded through state and federal funds, grant funds and private donations.





During the school year, our prevention team goes to Santa Rosa county elementary schools and teaches the Monique Burr Child Safety Matters curriculum. These lessons are comprehensive and evidence-based for elementary school students in grades K-5.
The program educates and empowers children and all relevant adults with information and strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to bullying, cyberbullying, all types of abuse, and digital abuse dangers.
