Youth Programs

Our Youth Programs focus on children of color and immigrant families who are navigating the foster care, adoption and kinship systems in RI. These programs aim to respond to barriers faced by children who are in the system by promoting positive child mental health services rooted in culturally relevant services and trauma informed practices. Some of the barriers faced by the children we serve are cultural disconnection, resulting trauma from placement instability, language barriers and limited access to culturally affirming support services. The Youth Programs elevate the importance of self identity, focus on building a sense of belonging and aim to be a place of healing and restoration.
