Our 6 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

💖 Happy Valentine's Day from All Star Children's Foundation! 💖 
We can't think of a better way to celebrate it than by sharing this work of art and love created by a talented All Star kid and presented to Graci, All Star's founder. The back reads, "For Ms. G, Thx you for making All Star! I don’t know what will happen to me and my sisters if we weren’t here!” Moments like this remind us why we do what we do, and why it is so important to keep advocating for, supporting, and providing love to our children who need it most. 💙💛
