Since 1982 we’ve been caring for the most vulnerable populations in our community. By integrating our child welfare, behavioral health, and homeless services, we are able to wrap our clients in the care they need and put an end to the cycle of trauma. We are pioneering treatments and services that are shaping the future of trauma-informed care and providing the best possible support to the ones who need it the most.
We provide wraparound services to families who are at-risk of entering the Child Welfare System using our innovative diversion model.
When reunification isn’t possible, we are committed to finding a safe and loving forever family for each child. We facilitate between 60 – 150 adoptions each year.
We treat acute, mild to severe, and/or chronic emotional or mental illness through therapy, psychiatry, and group services.
We help adults and families living without homes, or who are at-risk of homelessness, by linking them to housing and a variety of resources.
We work directly with children in the Child Welfare System, providing care and support to kids navigating the system.
We provide in-home parenting skills training for parents who need additional help and on-site training for child care personnel.
