A Home Within

Started in San Francisco in 1994 as a small, loosely organized network of like-minded therapists, A Home Within is celebrating nearly 15 years as a national nonprofit. 

 

Our model is simple:

 

We provide weekly psychotherapy to current and former foster youth, free of charge, for as long as it takes. No one ages out of A Home Within!

We also provide tools and training in relationship-based practices for those working with or caring for vulnerable youth, treating trauma with care.

 

May is Foster Care Month, a time to acknowledge the foster care community and get people involved in making a difference in the lives of over 400,000 children and youth. We want to widen our impact this month and we need your help in meeting this goal.

 

Our unique organizational model keeps overhead costs very low, so more of your contribution supports direct services and program expansion. Your tax-deductible gift to A Home Within will help us create meaningful change in the lives of these vulnerable kids.

 

• $100 allows us to recruit 1 therapist for 1 child, providing years of free therapy
• $1000 allows us to create 1 online course with the potential for reaching 100,000 children and youth

 

Research by the Foster Care Research Group at the University of San Francisco shows that A Home Within’s model of creating long-term healthy relationships with foster care youth has led to statistically significant improvement in psychological and behavioral issues.

 

This may be Foster Care Month, but kids are in foster care every month and therapists donate their time every day. On this special day of giving, will you donate to A Home Within?
