Our staff has been moved to serve by some of the most horrific incidents that plague our society daily. From the story about little Tiffany, a diabetic child that was beaten to death by her father for bedwetting, to countless others that have touched the lives of our staff, we stand ready to save lives. We are ready and prepared to help our clients discover the strength, hope and positive outlook on life that they may have lost.
Our staff includes licensed and pre-licensed professional and paraprofessional staff. All services are supervised and overseen by licensed clinicians.
Our Board of Directors that oversees our operations consists of community-based volunteers with a broad and varied scope of expertise. We also have a volunteer Advisory Board composed of community members and a Youth Advisory Board composed of community youth and graduates of our shelter programs.
While our inspiration of “Building Brighter Tomorrows,” may not come from the happiest incidents, it’s the happiness and hope that we can and have been delivering to the unfortunate that constantly fuels our motivation. Thanks to our wonderful staff and Board of Directors, tomorrow will be brighter for every life we touch.
