Foster Friend Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 PUBLIC CHARITY. We bring awareness to abuse and cyberbullying. We find ways to prevent abuse and cyberbullying through education, research, tutoring, training, supporting community services, and fostering friendships that improve our community.
Intimate partner violence has increased among women and adolescents. Almost 87% of female victims and 60% of male victims reported at least one violence-related impact related to intimate partner violence such as injury, PTSD symptoms, concern for safety, fear, needing help from law enforcement, and missing at least one day of work.
The most common form of violence experienced by young adults is bullying. Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youths. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. More than 1 in 6 high school students reported being bullied electronically in 2021.
The World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends that healthcare providers consider exposure to violence when assessing children’s health and that certain interventions can prevent future harm. Foster Friend Foundation's strategic goal is to stop abuse and prevent its devastating mental health outcomes by bringing awareness to abuse.
We Bring Awareness to Abuse.
Because abuse can cause persistent psychological, emotional, and physical damage that impact our community.
Foster Friend Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 PUBLIC CHARITY. We bring awareness to abuse and cyberbullying. We find ways to prevent abuse and cyberbullying through education, research, tutoring, training, and supporting community services based on the 'Five Principles' of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice while fostering friendships with various organizations to improve our community.
Because we understand.
"Once a teacher, always a teacher."
Since 2008, our founder, Alexia Knox, has worked as an educator and has been an advocate for social programs that support low-income communities. After surviving her own traumatic experiences, she founded the Foster Friend Foundation to bring awareness to abuse, child abuse, and cyberbullying. She is currently a crisis and risk communications research writer and consultant.
In 2015, Foster Friend Foundation began tutoring youth and created fact-based print communications about child abuse that were distributed to nonprofit organizations, foster care agencies, child care centers, and faith-based organizations nationwide.
Today, we continue to bring awareness to abuse through our various programs.
Our vision is to provide educational resources and training to bring awareness to abuse while fostering meaningful global partnerships to bring awareness to various forms of abuse, including drug abuse, domestic violence, police violence, child abuse, and femicide.
Mental health experts believe that abuse can be prevented.
So we are spreading the word about abuse to prevent it.
Foster Friend Foundation's strategic goal is to stop abuse and prevent cyberbullying and its devastating mental health outcomes.
We use 3 PREVENTION STRATEGIES to bring awareness to and prevent abuse:
EDUCATION: Our educational resources track crime, population, and public health data related to abuse, cyberbullying, and other forms of abuse.
TRAINING: Awareness Training helps to identify abuse and establishes measurable goals to prevent abuse while collaborating with organizations.
SUPPORT: We provide direct support to some victims of abuse and perpetrators to achieve our goal of bringing awareness to abuse and prevention.
Your generous donations will help us achieve our mission which is based the 'Five Principles' of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice.
