Healing begins with
Connection
At Kids Alive, mental health care isn’t just about therapy sessions—it’s about relationships that build trust and create safe spaces for transformation. From group mentorship to workshops equipping parents with skills to strengthen family bonds, every aspect of our work fosters restoration.
Empowering Families – Parents in our Parenting & Connection workshop realize the importance of healing their own wounds so they can be present for their children.
Restoring Voices – Justice that heals means helping children find their voice, advocate for their rights, and regain the confidence they lost.
Faith and Mental Health Together – Through compassionate care and the truth of Christ’s love, we walk with children toward emotional and spiritual wholeness.
The power of a
Safe Space
Many children come to us feeling unseen, unheard, and carrying burdens no child should bear. Our programs provide:
Social Workers – Guiding children and families through emotional healing, family reunification, and advocacy.
Trauma-Focused Therapy – Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy to help children process and heal.
Mentorship & Life Skills Programs – Creating spaces where children learn self-worth, resilience, and confidence.
If God is compassionate with us, we can also be compassionate with our children.
