The Children's Healing Institute

The Children's Healing Institute Founded in 1988, the mission of The Children’s Healing Institute is to prevent child abuse by strengthening families facing crisis, challenge, and change.

Producing confident and capable parents; Keeping kids safe & secure in their own homes; Helping families stay intact; Changing the course for kids & their future. CHI educates and empowers families with focus on reducing stress, promoting health, building parenting skills, increasing access to resources, and strengthening support systems. Programs include TEACUP Preemie (resources and support for

families with a premature infant in the NICU), Bridging Hope (bereavement support and education for grieving children), Parent Aide Mentoring (in-home family mentoring and parenting support), and Healthy Start (care coordination and education for at-risk pregnant and new mothers). Since 2004, our annual Turn on the Light Conference educated the community with focus on child abuse and neglect prevention, intervention and advocacy, and is attended by hundreds of professionals, parents and volunteers.

Hard moments happen in every home. Three simple ways to bring a little calm when things get big:

Get down to eye level and lower your voice — connection before correction.
Name the feeling: "You're really frustrated right now." Being understood helps kids settle.
Breathe together. Even three slow breaths can reset the moment for both of you.

Save this for the next tough day, and share it with a parent who needs the reminder.

Sometimes the difference between a family falling apart and a family finding its footing is having the right support at the right moment.
That's the heart of our work at The Children's Healing Institute — standing with parents through their hardest seasons so children can stay safe, loved, and home where they belong.
Every family deserves the chance to heal. Thank you for helping us make that possible.

Ever wondered how TEACUP got its name?
It started as something we spelled out, letter by letter:
-Together Encouraging And Creating Understanding of Preemies-
Over the years, those words grew into one — TEACUP — a single name that still carries everything we set out to do: to hold the smallest, most fragile beginnings with the gentlest care, and to walk beside the families who love them.
The word became one. The mission stayed the same.

Every family goes through hard seasons. And sometimes the thing that changes everything isn't a program — it's having someone show up.
That's the heart of our Parent Aide program. Trained family support professionals work right alongside parents in their own homes — building everyday parenting skills, steadying routines, and connecting families to the resources they need to get back on solid ground.
It's not about fixing everything at once. It's about meeting families where they are, earning trust, and helping them grow stronger from the inside out — so children can stay safe, supported, and home with the people who love them.
Here's how Parent Aide walks with families, every step of the way 👇
Stabilizing families. Strengthening homes. Building lasting confidence.

💡 Did you know resilience can be built? 🌿
Children aren't simply born resilient or not — it grows through the relationships and experiences around them. These are called protective factors, and they're powerful: one caring adult, feeling truly heard, and a sense of belonging can help a child thrive even through hard times. 💛

🌿 Feel-Good Friday
Connection doesn't require big gestures. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your child is simply get down to their level and listen.

Try this today: when your child talks to you, pause what you're doing, meet their eyes, and give them your full attention for just 60 seconds. 💛

These small moments build the safety and trust that help children thrive — the foundation of every positive childhood experience.

What's one little way you'll connect with your child today? 👇

🌸 Bloom (v.): to flourish or thrive

This is what hope looks like.

The first photo shows the fragile beginning — tiny, fighting, surrounded by wires and uncertainty in the NICU. The second? A thriving little one, full of life and ready to take on the world. 💛

Between those two moments stood a family who never gave up — and a
TEACUP team walking beside them every step of the way. Our bilingual Preemie & NICU Support Program is here for Palm Beach County families during the hardest, most uncertain days, offering guidance, comfort, and connection when it's needed most.
Every baby deserves the chance to bloom. 🌷

Behind every name etched in stone is a family who loved them.
This Memorial Day, we remember the fallen — and we hold close the parents, spouses, and children who still feel the weight of their absence. Grief and gratitude can live in the same breath.
Thank you to those who gave their lives in service. We will not forget.
