Organizations Filed Purposes: WE WILL FILL GAPS IN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM WITH TRAUMA-SENSITIVE INITIATIVES THAT ARE CHILD-FOCUSED, OUTCOMES DRIVEN AND FUELED BY COLLABORATION AS WE WALK WITH YOUTH AND FAMILIES TOWARD HOPE, HELP, AND HEALING.

IMMERSE FAMILIES: FAMILIES WHO OPEN THEIR HOMES TO FOSTER AND/OR ADOPT ARE AMAZING. THEY FACE CHALLENGES THAT ARE HARD TO FATHOM UNLESS YOU'VE DONE IT. WHILE WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO WALKING WITH KIDS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCES COMPLEX TRAUMA. SINCE IMMERSE STARTED, MANY YOUTH WERE COMING TO US FROM DISRUPTED ADOPTION OR A SERIES OF FOSTER CARE PLACEMENTS. FROM THAT TIME, WE'VE KNOWN AT SOME POINT WE WOULD NEED TO DIRECT EFFORTS UPSTREAM TO MAKE SURE THAT KIDS AND FAMILIES GET SUPPORT MUCH SOONER. IMMERSE FAMILIES IS OUR EFFORT TO WALK WITH AND EQUIP FAMILIES, AS THEY WALK WITH THEIR KIDS. FAMILIES FIND SUPPORT THROUGH GREAT CONNECTING AND ENCOURAGING EVENTS ALONG WITH TOP-NOTCH TRAININGS GEARED TOWARD THE NEEDS OF FOSTER AND ADOPTED FAMILIES. AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GATHERING STAKEHOLDERS TO ASSEMBLE A PLAN TO INCREASE ACCESS TO TRAUMA-FOCUSED THERAPIES, WRAPAROUND SUPPORTS, AND OTHER NEEDS OF FAMILIES.

EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTAINING THE ACQUIRED BUILDING.
