Why CRI?

In 2008, a group of people came together because they wanted to make a difference. Co-founders Lindy Beauregard and Dr. Kelly Graves developed and expanded the Greensboro CRI into what it is today. CRI shares many of its tenets in the Child Development-Community Policing (CD-CP) program model (Marans, Murphy, &, Berkowitz, 2002), but was uniquely adapted to respond to the needs of the community. The purpose of CRI is to provide community-based, coordinated services delivered within a trauma-informed framework.

Children who have had traumatic experiences may need some help coping with the trauma. Police officers, victim advocates, and community providers work together to help and support your family after an experience of violence or trauma.

Four Primary Objectives of CRI

Early Identification

Intervene early to help children and families exposed to violence and trauma access services

Information and Education

Work with children and families to explain natural reactions to traumatic experiences

Community Connection and Referral

Provide families referrals to high-quality treatment agencies and other community resources to individually address children/family needs.

Building
Relationships

Strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the community through integrated partnerships

Foster Grandparents - Senior Corps

https://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/senior-corps/senior-corps-programs/fostergrandparents

Foster Grandparents are role models, mentors, and friends to children with exceptional needs. The program provides a way for volunteers age 55 and over to stay active by serving children and youth in their communities.

Volunteers serve at thousands of local organizations that:

Help children learn to read and provide one-on-one tutoring
Mentor troubled teenagers and young mothers
Care for premature infants or children with disabilities
Help children who have been abused or neglected

All you need to join is the ability to give the kind of comfort and love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future. If you’re 55 or older and want to share your experience and compassion, you have what it takes to be a Foster Grandparent.

Senior Companions provides volunteers aged 55 and over who make a difference by providing assistance and friendship to adults who have difficulty with daily living tasks, such as shopping or paying bills. The program helps these adults remain independent in their homes instead of having to move to more costly institutional care.

The program serves 15 to 40 hours per week helping an average of two to four adult clients live independently in their own homes.
