CBS Atlanta Highlights WRCDV's Programming for Children

We’re so grateful to CBS News Atlanta for shining a light on the ways WRCDV helps children heal and thrive after experiencing family violence.



The story features Sherri Banks and her daughter Zhion, who first came to WRCDV in 2018 after leaving an abusive relationship. Sherri shared what it was like to start over with nothing but her daughters and the clothes on her back, and how, through WRCDV, she and her girls found safety, community, and hope.


For Zhion, who was just six years old when they arrived at our safe house, WRCDV’s children’s programming became a place of healing. She joined other kids in counseling, field trips, and creative activities designed to help children rebuild trust, confidence, and stability after trauma.

Thank you, Sherri and Zhion, for sharing your story with such courage—and thank you, CBS News, for helping share our work.

This is a powerful reminder that compassionate support can truly change lives. Seeing children and families rebuild hope after difficult experiences is inspiring. Tu Chance Hoy also highlights how trusted resources can make a positive difference when people need guidance and encouragement.

It is incredibly moving to see how these programs provide a safe haven for children navigating such immense trauma. The emphasis on creative activities as a path to recovery is particularly inspiring; it reminds me how visual storytelling and tools like an ai image animator can empower kids to express their emotions in new ways. Thank you for sharing Sherri and Zhion’s journey; their resilience is a powerful testament to the life-changing support you provide. Keep up this vital work.

It's inspiring to see WRCDV's dedication to helping children heal from family violence receive attention from CBS Atlanta. The article highlights how specialized programming, like the creative activities Zhion participated in, can foster resilience. This focus on tailored support is crucial, similar to how tools like photo to anime can transform photos into unique artistic styles.

It's wonderful that CBS Atlanta is highlighting WRCDV's impactful children's programming, offering specialized support that contrasts with broader, less structured community outreach. This focused approach provides a crucial pathway for healing, much like how tools such as ai 3d generator can transform complex data into accessible 3D models for specific applications.

I appreciate that Drive Mad focuses on timing instead of complicated controls. It keeps every attempt feeling fair.
