Help Break the Cycle of Child Abuse

Every child deserves to feel safe, valued and loved.

We're on a mission to distribute Calm Down Kits to every family we serve. Each kit represents hope for a family working to create a safer home environment.

For every $25 donated, we will provide 5 Calm Down Kits to families currently receiving services at Boys Town.

In the past 5 years, an average of 45% of the girls and boys receiving Boys Town services in our out-of-home programs had previously been abused or neglected

Child trauma can lead to lifelong struggles with depression and self-worth. At Boys Town, we're changing this reality by equipping parents with proven strategies to stay calm during challenging moments.

Introducing the Calm Down Kit

Our research-backed Calm Down Kit contains two essential tools:

A Kid Tool that helps children identify healthy ways to manage emotions
A Parent Tool that gives adults a personalized Staying Calm Plan

Together, these tools prevent emotional situations from escalating, and create opportunities for positive teaching moments instead of harmful reactions.
