The objects of the CIO are to relieve the needs of children and young people who are victims of abuse, including but not exclusively psychological abuse from step-parents, in such ways as the charity Trustees think fit, including, but not limited to:
• Creating a mutual-aid online community;
• Engaging survivors of child abuse to contribute and encourage current victims to seek help;
• Psychological counselling and support groups to promote mental health; and
• Connecting victims with specialists or organisations most suitable to their needs.
We have created the foundation to help children and young people who live in step-families and experience emotional tensions or abuse from a step-parent. Our anonymous online chat with a counsellor is intended to provide an easy-access platform to discuss concerns which would otherwise be difficult with someone in immediate surroundings.
