CPF's Child- Friendly Space, a milestone...

This Centre represents more than just a physical space. It is a sanctuary where children can find solace, healing and hope

Karunaratne further said that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation.

“The integrated care model is a coordinated system of care that multiple healthcare providers and professionals use. Together they come together and work as a team. Psychological support includes trauma-focused counseling and therapy helping children to process painful memories safely. Medical care addresses physical injuries, sleep difficulties and nutritional needs. Social support is crucial and having at least one consistent caring adult makes a huge difference - sometimes it’s family, proper foster care or a dedicated caregiver. Legal protection ensures that children are not traumatised during investigations and court processes through child friendly practices. Education and creativity such as schooling, art therapy and sports provide children with an outlet to rebuild self esteem, express themselves and ensure a hopeful future. Healing is never just one intervention, but a team effort. At CPF our goal is to bring all these supports together with the launch of the Child-Friendly Space,” she said.
