For Children's Sake is a program that provides assessment and treatment by psychology graduate student clinicians for children exposed to domestic violence. Assessment information is gathered from significant others in a child's life such as parents, teachers, and siblings. Treatment interventions include individual and group counseling, parent consultation and education, and teacher consultation.

Any family member who has experienced domestic violence may call For Children's Sake for assistance. With appropriate written releases, social service agencies associated with a family may also make the initial contact to arrange assistance.

There is no fee for services since funding is provided through a grant from the Office of the Illinois Attorney General and is administered by Illinois State University Department of Psychology faculty member Adena B. Meyers, Ph.D.
