Buttons of Bravery

Be the thread of hope for a child!

When a child visits Child Advocacy Services (CAS), they select a button from a jar. This is a very personal selection because this button represent them. It tells their story. These stories are raw, emotional, and heart wrenching. The button selection may take a long time. They are asked to leave a button to help other children see they are not alone.

Children desperately need the services of CAS - an organization that gives them a voice, a sense of security, and help with healing. Like buttons, children come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. And they all need a secure thread to hold them tightly and let them know there is hope.

Brave children share their stories. Courageous adults help these children through their trauma and assist them in finding safe and secure homes. Buttons of Bravery represents the journey of One Child for One Year under the care of CAS.
