Organizations Filed Purposes: THE MISSION OF SAFE & SOUND IS TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE AND REDUCE ITS DEVASTATING IMPACT.

The mission of Safe & Sound is to prevent child abuse and reduce child abuse and reduce its devastating impact.

CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES WE PROVIDE HOLISTIC, STRENGTH-BASED SERVICES TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. BY USING OUR EVIDENCE-INFORMED APPROACH, WE HELP FAMILIES BUILD UPON THEIR STRENGTHS TO INCREASE THEIR PROTECTIVE FACTORS: PARENTAL RESILIENCE, SOCIAL CONNECTIONS, CONCRETE SUPPORT IN TIMES OF NEED, KNOWLEDGE OF PARENTING AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT, AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE OF CHILDREN. WE PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT TO 750+ FAMILIES; PARENTING EDUCATION, SUPPORT GROUPS, SKILLS WORKSHOPS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS; 24/7 TELEPHONE COUNSELING; AND INTEGRATED FAMILY SERVICES (IFS)-CARE COORDINATION AND INTENSIVE SUPPORT TO FAMILIES WITH INCREASED RISK FOR ABUSE. OVER 90% OF HIGHLY VULNERABLE FAMILIES ENROLLED IN IFS FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS DEMONSTRATE IMPROVEMENTS IN PROTECTIVE FACTORS SHOWN TO CORRELATE WITH LOW RATES OF ABUSE. SPECIFICALLY, IN 2019, WE PROVIDED IN-PERSON SUPPORT TO 790 FAMILIES; PARENTING EDUCATION, SUPPORT GROUPS, SKILLS WORKSHOPS, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS TO 702 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS 2,057 SESSIONS; 24/7 TELEPHONE COUNSELING TO 330 PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OVER A COURSE OF 9,400 CALLS; AND INTENSIVE SERVICES TO 88 FAMILIES.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION We teach classes and workshops as well as develop curriculum on child safety and security. Our safety lessons reach 5,400+ children and our safety education trainings reach 2,000+ adults, including parents and child-serving professionals, to ensure abuse is reported. Over 90% of teachers report that our classes give their students tools to keep themselves safe and over 90% of adults say that they are more likely to take action if they suspect abuse. Specifically, in 2019, the safety lessons reached 5,600 children in San Francisco public schools and 300 parents. Furthermore, in 2019, as part of our safety education trainings, our mandated reporter trainings reached 1,800 professionals and the SafeStart trainings, held as part of a citywide collaborative effort, reached 100 service providers and 153 parents.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS We collaborate with government agencies and community organizations throughout the Bay Area to provide support and services to children and their parents or caregivers. These collaborations bolster our ability to prevent child abuse, unearth cases of abuse, and respond to those cases. As backbone agency for the trauma-informed, multidisciplinary Childrens Advocacy Center of San Francisco (CAC), we coordinate trauma-informed care that includes forensic interviews, multidisciplinary support, and referrals of eligible clients who need follow-up care to appropriate mental health services, to help with the process of healing. In 2019, 220 children received forensic interviews and support at the CAC and 13 city departments collaborated with Safe & Sound to protect San Franciscos children.
