Dear Reader,
No One Should Face Disaster Alone, Especially Children and Teens.
Having worked at one of the nation's largest humanitarian aid organizations, I have witnessed the overwhelming challenges families face when rebuilding. While adults face urgent decisions and responsibilities, children and teens are often left quietly carrying fear, confusion, and loss.
When disasters strike, they don’t just damage homes and roads. They disrupt the emotional stability that children rely on. Routines vanish. Safe spaces disappear. The world feels uncertain, and many young people are left wondering if things will ever return to normal.
The Safe Haven Project was created to meet this moment. It is an emotional support tool designed to help children and teens begin the healing process, even when parents are stretched thin. Through guided meditations and simple coping activities, this platform provides young people with a way to feel seen, calm, and more in control of their experiences.
While you focus on rebuilding your life, the Disaster Safe Haven Project helps ensure that your child or teen is not emotionally left behind. Healing may take time, but every young person deserves a space where they feel safe, understood, and supported.
Sincerely,
Julia deMontagnac
Founder, Sunward Relief
