At Naomi Society, we know that violence has an affect on the children who live with it. It can hurt them for the rest of their lives. Children need a safe and loving home. Low self-esteem, a lack of self-confidence, and insecurity are often the result of living in a violent home. Naomi Society offers support for children and adolescentsliving with violence in the family.
The Naomi Society welcomes volunteer support and contributions. If you are interested in helping to eliminate violence against women and children, please consider making a donation to:
