CEDARS mission is to help children achieve safety, stability and enduring family relationships. CEDARS is here to ensure that all kids have a safe environment where they can grow and thrive. We walk alongside them, using a holistic approach that provides support from infancy through young adulthood, with a variety of services to meet individual needs. We’re also here to walk with families, offering them resources, opportunities and education to keep their family connections strong. Our approach is trauma-informed and honors the experiences of those we serve, so families can become stronger and kids can preserve those connections as a central part of their support system. These needs can't be met by one person, entity or organization alone. That's why we join together with friends like you from across our community to support kids and families. We embrace this kind of togetherness that changes lives.
