The Heart and Science of Healing

We see every day how trauma, poverty and other barriers can create instability across many parts of life. The people we serve often face challenges such as limited access to education and health care, high unemployment and unaffordable housing. Many have also lost connections to family, friends and other supports that can make such a difference. Yet with the right care and resources, people find new strength, rebuild connections and create greater stability for themselves and their families.

We believe there is a better way. So, we have anchored ourselves in our more than 175 years of caring for our neighbors through modernized human services.

While we are experts in the science behind trauma and the proven tactics to overcome adversity, we believe no amount of services can heal a child or a family without the right amount of care and compassion.

Five Pillars of Stability

Leading with empathy, compassion, respect and transparency, we partner with families and individuals to achieve stability by addressing needs in Five Pillars of Stability: health, education, housing, employment and caring connections. 

Trauma Informed Care  

At the forefront of practicing evidence-based Trauma Informed Care, we apply what neuroscience has taught us about how the brain develops, functions and recovers from trauma. This allows us to take a comprehensive approach in supporting individuals and families at any point through their journey.
