Who We Help

For kids who are unable to live at home due to abuse, neglect,  running away, homelessness, or family crises, CEDARS provides an array of safe places to stay that offer structure and support while working to find a more permanent and stable living situation.

At CEDARS, we focus on services that are designed to help the entire family so that healthy connections grow, and families can stay together. We also offer early childhood and school-age opportunities to give kids a great start.

CEDARS provides positive development programs focused on preparing kids for a successful and fulfilling future.

CEDARS approach to care is trauma-informed, meaning we address the reality of trauma in the kids we care for. Each staff member is trained in trauma-informed care, using a training course called Risking Connection,  to ensure that every kid at CEDARS feels safe and cared for while overcoming the trauma they have endured. By being trained in trauma-informed care, our team can easily recognize the signs and reactions of trauma and know how to respond so that the clients we serve may avoid re-traumatization.
