HANDS ON LEARNING

Participants

Each child is given the opportunity to benefit from our program. Providing experiences to practice these skills together with a parent or trusted adult.  Learn how to create an atmosphere for teaching healthy communication methods, boundaries, empathy, and much more. 

Building trust within each relationship starts with honest conversations. We give the tools and resources to start these steps and provide you a way to plan and practice that plan. We call it a CPR Plan, building a Child-Parent-Relationship Plan.

The Kidz Can Passport and Life Coaching are designed to help families with children who have a desire to better themselves. Learning to recognize PTSD is not self taught. Neither is it natural to know how to intervene as parents, grandparents, or health officials without training or verbal practice. All humans of every age, race, profession, and culture have had to learn how to address the causes of domestic violence.  

At the start of interventions, children not only may be hesitant to share their experiences but may have limited ability to express what has happened. Children have to learn the language of abuse and how to talk about what they have witnessed or heard. As children engage with interventions, they begin to learn that abuse is not acceptable and to ‘de-normalise’ the domestic violence to which they have been exposed.”

Champ’s Heart focuses on “improving personal relationships, comm-unication, and overall reintegration and wellness.”

Museums are great places with multi-sensory opportunities. They can see advantages of change through patterns and history.

This form of martial arts teaches how to protect ones self. Learn what it means to “tap out” & gain self confidence. 

Art allows for new perspectives as one creates something new. Youth may find how to regulate PTSD and stay focused. 

Animals are great examples of the need for boundaries. Each of us learn to respect those boundaries and can learn which boundaries are necessary for us.

At a trampoline park everyone has fun. Yet, did you know its a great place to practice boundaries? It’s important to say how you feel out loud.

Madison Gymnastics

East Idaho Aquarium

Rock Gyms

It is important that kids learn good touch verse bad touch. It is also important that they learn how to physically protect themselves. Martial Arts teaches this.

Gymnasts learn to listen to their bodies and learn to stay in balance. This is vital for anyone with a lot of emotions to learn to balance health of body and mind. 

Another great  trampoline park where everyone has fun. Yet, did you know its a great place to practice boundaries? It’s important to say how you feel out loud. 

This is a favorite place to go! Every airplane pilot will have an emergency plan. Here we teach kids the importance of having their own and what to do if they need to us one.

At the Aquarium kids learn to be more observant. In our activity book they learn to recognize who their actions may affect and how. 

Rock climbing builds character and strength. Yet, it takes having a secure foundation you know you can rely on. Kids too need to know where to put their trust.

Experience

“The EXPERIENCE of domestic violence is different for each individual. One may walk away physically yet, not know how to walk away mentally.” (Founder of Kidz Can, Inc. Crystal Hymas)  

Learn to break the chain of abuse with guided support and find more resources for help.

Kidz Can Life Coaching builds honesty with techniques building trusted relationships. Kids are always in need of someone they know they can trust!

Trust

When a family comes to us with a youth who has experienced domestic violence, we seek to train both the youth and a ‘Trusted Adult’ in the youth’s life. A trusted adult is someone who can commit to the program with the youth and who will listen as time goes on after the program has ended. The goal is to train them and the youth with principles to be used over and over again. We strive help eliminate the ‘Adverse Childhood Experiences’ that cause many of our global health problems today.
