Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Family Counseling, Foster Care, Human Services
Mission: With a mission to create and support lasting, caring relationships for children and youth in foster care, A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single foster youth "for as long as it takes." For foster youth who often watch people move in and out of their lives, our model creates an anchor of support.
Programs: A Home Within Volunteers provide pro-bono weekly psychotherapy to current and former foster youth “for as long as it takes.” We have chapters throughout the country and will start one anywhere there is interest. Volunteer Clinicians are supported by local Clinical Directors and AHW staff who facilitate consultation groups, continuing education events, and opportunities to engage with the broader field. The therapy A Home Within’s volunteer clinicians provide is not mediated by the foster care system or limited by public funding constraints, making it a creative solution to a challenging problem. If you’re a therapist interested in joining one of our Clinical Chapters, we’d love to hear from you!
