About All Star
"Adverse childhood experiences (trauma) are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today."
Foster a Child on the Campus of Hope & Healing
The need for foster parents is great. We have created the Campus of Hope and Healing – a place where kids living in foster care can thrive.

The Journey Can Be Long and Difficult
We have created a place for children to begin their journey to Hope and Healing. The All Star Children's Campus is a refuge for children - a place where healing occurs, hope is restored, and spirits are renewed.
Campus of Hope and Healinga campus truly built on love
The construction of the Campus, which includes a 13,000 square foot pediatric treatment and research center, 6 single family 5-bedroom foster homes, and a 3,000 square foot clubhouse and tutoring center are now complete.
Learn About the Campus
Our Core Programs
Each of these programs is being implemented and researched in an effort to create effective intervention models that can be replicated in other communities.
These programs are being implemented and evaluated by an exceptionally dedicated group of staff with advanced training and expertise in trauma who are united around their commitment to improving the experiences and outcomes of children and families in foster care.
Our Programs
Evidence Based Mental Health Intervention
The All Star Children’s Foundation clinicians are highly trained trauma specialists with expertise and training in evidence-based interventions for children with trauma and trauma-related disorders. The impact of complex trauma on children and families is vast and diverse. Learn More.
Foster Parent Support
With the mission of ASCF to address childhood trauma, we are working closely with local foster parents and training them with the Resource Parenting Curriculum (RPC), which is supported by The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). Learn More
Birth Family Engagement
One area of need for the children and families within the foster care system is the support for birth parent-child visitation practices. Learn More
Trauma Training
All Star Children’s Foundation (ASCF) strives to provide children and families who have experienced abuse and/or neglect with individualized, comprehensive, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care. Learn More
Trauma-Informed Systems Integration
A key activity for ASCF is providing training in trauma-informed systems integration with individuals and groups in the community who interact with children and families who have experienced trauma. Learn More
Enrichment Programs
All Star is offering an array of enrichment programs for children to experience and through which to learn about life’s goodness, including art, pets, music, sports, yoga, and more. Learn More
Trauma Screening & Assessment
Trauma screening for children entering out-of-home care is a recognized best practice for understanding if and how a child’s prior history impacts his or her current functioning today. Results from a trauma screening also guide treatment and service recommendations. Learn More
