Welcome
In 1997, CAN Prevent collaborated with Early Childhood Treatment Program at Children's Behavioral Services to apply for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) federal funds to allow for the continuation of Project Safe and Growing in Reno, Nevada. Collaboration with the State of Nevada has continued since that time. Project Safe and Growing is funded from VOCA to provide a day treatment program setting for children ages three to six that have been identified as victims of crime. The day treatment setting allows for trimester class sessions where the children receive beneficial therapeutic level services to address the impact of their experiences of victimization at no cost to the families.
