We work to ensure safety and well-being of Zimbabwean 's children, youth and families by raising public awareness of the impact of abuse and neglect, and by developing and promoting effective care and prevention strategies. Continuously living without these necessities, can delay and even prevent proper brain development, which can lead to problems e.g. interpersonal relationships, doing poorly in school, delinquency, and health issues. As SACOP is addressing this problem by equipping caregivers with parenting skills, establish Mental health Awareness Clubs in 11 high schools in Mutare District, where we will equip over 2000 students with positive coping skills. We have entered into partnerships with Local hospitals where we offer mental health care to over 100 abused children, youth and adults who struggle with psychosomatic problems. We also have partnered with City Council Health Department and Rural District Councils to reach out to over 100 vulnerable out of school youth every month. We offer them life skills and assist them how to make informed, constructive life choices.
