Following the great stock market crash of 1929, record numbers of children were abandoned, suffering hopelessly with a seemingly bleak future. James Couzens chose not to look away, but to look deeper. He inspired other leaders to do the same. Those who saw children not as they were, but for what they could become. Almost a century later, James Couzens’ vision has become a movement shared by many who are joined in a common resolve. A resolve to make life work for children, so they may grow into the amazing people they were born to be, regardless of their circumstances, mental health, or behavioral challenges. Here’s to the possibility that life can not only work for children — but that children can dream again. BRAND PROMISE Helping children dream again. MISSION We put children and families at the center of all we do. We strive to help them shape their own futures, and carve out a path that’s brighter than even they imagine. BELIEFS • We believe in treating and healing the whole child and family. • We believe in advancing care through the use of evidence-based treatments. • We believe in respecting our children’s struggles and advocating for their rights. • And most of all, we believe in building bigger dreams and brighter futures.
