Children and helphed, cared for and looked after in a safe enviroment from abuse and abusive parents and families. There was little or no service for these victims, and therapeutic intervention was not available. Kids In Distress incorporated in 1979 as a private, non-profit agency with a goal of providing early intervention and effective prevention and treatment for young abuse victims and their families in South Florida.
Early intervention is the most cost-effective treatment in both humane and financial terms.
An investment in positive family functioning will promote healthier individuals, protect children and empower parents.
