Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center works with CPS and law enforcement and hosts a camp for youth recovering from cases of abuse.
On the last day of camp Wednesday, the staff held a celebration lunch and graduation ceremony for the campers.
Morris works with other camp staff to walk the campers through team-building activities from planting seeds of hope in their garden to building affirmation jars and other crafts. “Right now, we are seeing an influx in physical abuse cases, we have seen an increase in domestic violence,” said Jackson. “I don’t have the reason of why that is happening but we all are living in a place where things are hard. Stress is hard, money is short. Money is tight. Which can increase the chaos in the home.”
