Children's Rehabilitation Center - SMRO

The Children’s Rehabilitation Center (CRC) is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government institution that serves children and families who are victims of state violence. It is duly licensed, registered and accredited by the Department of Social welfare Development (DSWD) as a Community –Based and Family Welfare Agency. Historical Background:

On October 18, 1988 CRC-SMRO was established guided with the mission to help children-victims-survivors of armed conflict, social and natural disasters, and the sexually abused. It is the only non government organization in the country that focuses on child psychosocial problems arising from the ongoing political armed conflict. Working on the premise that the best way to address such problems is by changing the nucleus and societal environment of the child, CRC’s approach to rehabilitation is family-centered while maintaining an active disposition towards upholding peaceful societal conditions. Its establishment was a response to the problem on psychological, emotional, physical health of the children who suffered from the armed conflict, natural disasters and social disorders; CRC-SMRO focuses its services on children’s welfare and the communities as their immediate support system.
