What We Do
read moreSince 1894, our mission has been to protect, heal and educate children and families so they can build better lives. Every child in our care has experienced trauma-abuse, neglect, poverty, toxic stress, or violence. We use a trauma-informed, clinical framework called Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) to encourage healing and personal growth so they can realize their dreams.
