Children's Shelter, The

The Children’s Shelter Family of Services delivers high quality, compassionate trauma-informed care delivered to children and families impacted by or at-risk of abuse and neglect.

Our Family of Services:

Treatment Foster Care:
The Children’s Shelter provides treatment foster care for children from birth to 18 years old who have been removed from their birth families due to abuse, abandonment, and/or neglect.

Together & Safe Kinship Program:
Our Together & Safe Kinship Program allows children to remain with extended family members or close family, rather than to go into a foster home or an emergency shelter.

Mental Health:
Our mental health programs complete our continuum of care. We offer trauma-informed services to all children and families. We help children and families cope with and heal from previous exposure to child abuse, neglect, abandonment, and/or violence.

Family Strengthening:
We offer a continuum of trauma-informed prevention and intervention services for families tailored to fit their needs. Family Strengthening Programs include: Compadre y Compadre™, which services any male caregiver; Nurse-Family Partnership® works with first time, low-income mothers; iParent SA® offers various service tracks to work with parents as well as any caregiver with children ages 0-17 years.
