We’re wearing blue in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month—a reminder that when communities come together to support and strengthen families, we can help reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. 💙

Through trauma-informed, therapeutic care, including residential, foster, adoption, and support services, we walk alongside children and families to build safe, nurturing environments.

This month, raise awareness, get involved, and wear blue. Together, we’re building a network where every child feels safe, seen, and loved. 🫶

Community Partner Shoutout ❤️

Through our partnership with Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, a program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, we’re proud to have two dedicated recruiters serving youth in our community. Recently, Ali, one incredible teen we serve, had a dream of celebrating her quinceañera—and thanks to our amazing community partners, that dream became a reality. 💫

We’re so grateful to our community partners who made it all possible:

Bake A Wish, Foster Angels of Central Texas, Heart Gallery of Central Texas, Highland Baptist Church, Partnerships for Children, and Pop-Up Birthday.

Because of our amazing partners, she experienced a night filled with joy, culture, and love, surrounded by people who showed up just for her. Together, they honored her heritage and created a meaningful celebration of this important milestone in her life.
