A Home Within

A Home Within is committed to honoring and manifesting the diversity of our communities. We embrace and nurture diversity on every axis: racial and ethnic identity; language and culture; gender and sexual identity; economic circumstances; geographic location; training, discipline, and modality. We acknowledge the existence of systemic oppression and commit to breaking down barriers to accessing mental health services for all people experiencing oppression by and within systems. We advance our mission and strengthen our organization by actively engaging with the unique experiences and perspectives of every individual with whom we collaborate. We commit resources to fostering the interconnectedness of our community, and continuously strive to ensure that we welcome and celebrate the diversity of our staff, volunteers, young people, and audiences.

Research and Evaluation: Our Research and Evaluation program provides the data needed to support improved strategies for meeting the mental health needs of foster children and youth. Using assessment tools before, during, and after treatment allows us to measure improvements.
