Our person-centered care allows children and adults to work toward independence and reach their full potential. Each year, 1,000 children and adults participate in our residential and community-based programs.
Juvenile Justice
Through intervention programs, we help young people escape the maze of the juvenile justice system. 94% of those who completed our Families Rising program avoided a criminal record.
Health and Behavioral Health
Our medical clinics and behavioral health programs allow children to thrive physically and mentally. Over 6,200 high-quality free medical visits are provided each year for young people in foster care.
