Sessions can be in the office or through telehealth services.

Share the Love Co-Parenting: assists in developing co-parenting skills for couples/families who are divorced/separated while maintaining a healthy environment and relationship for children.

Depression in Mothers, More Than the Blues: offers background information about depression and offers ideas that providers can use daily when helping mothers and their families. The toolkit also includes useful resources and handouts for mothers with depression.

Seeking Safety: a curriculum designed for people with a history of trauma and/or addiction. It focuses on coping skills to help you become safer in your relationships, thinking, and actions.

Our survivors of complex trauma, parents interested in adoption and fostering, expectant mothers, and young adults who have aged out of foster care, have endured a tremendous amount of heartache and pain, but because of your generosity and continued support, our clinicians and staff are able to provide our community with the tools they need to rewrite their stories. With your donations, we are able to continue our mission of ending the cycle of generational trauma through innovative services. We cannot serve our community without you.
