Our Impact
We address behavioral challenges and trauma in children by helping them develop coping skills and heal from distress.
“After my divorce, both of my young children were struggling with behavioral challenges and trauma. Seeking help, I called The Whole Child and that began us on our healing journey. My six year old son was diagnosed with severe depression and my five year old was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. The Whole Child’s therapists worked with my sons, held my hand along the way, and showed me how to advocate for my boys.
Now both of my sons are thriving. They have graduated from high school and are pursuing their college degrees.
The Whole Child is an amazing organization and I am forever grateful.”

“My children and I were homeless for about three years due to a domestic violence situation. My experience with The Whole Child has been amazing. They helped place my family into our own home where we can feel secure. We now have everything we need in a safe environment. We have a sense of stability, which has positively impacted our mental health.
The Whole Child has taught me to be independent again.”

We help caregivers establish a strong attachment with their children, prenatal to 5 years, to avoid abuse and neglect.
“It’s always so much fun and very educational when my parent educator brings different resources for me at our sessions. It’s challenging being a single mom and she provides valuable information that helps me to raise my son. The Whole Child provides an excellent support system, reminding parents they are not alone.”
