Dear ______,

I am writing to you as a supporter of CornerHouse, and a citizen concerned for the wellbeing of MN's children.

I support CornerHouse because I know how important it is to keep kids safe from abuse. Trauma from abuse affects a child's short- and long-term development and health, and if left untreated can follow children into adulthood, affecting their livelihood and ability to thrive. A recent report published by CornerHouse uncovers that thousands of MN children and families need support for abuse intervention, prevention, and healing services.

I'm asking you to support House Files #4685, #4702 and SF #4465, which will enable CornerHouse to expand to serve more children and families, and expand prevention services to stop abuse before it occurs. This necessary investment in our children's future will:

  • Provide infrastructure support needed to expand children and family services to 3,000 additional children in Hennepin County

  • Bring prevention support to 17,000 children and families

  • Launch services in Anoka County

  • Provide the platform for prevention and mental health services in both rural and urban Minnesota

KSTP recently aired a piece on the need to expand services like CornerHouse. I invite you to watch it as you consider supporting this important bill.

Thank you,

________
