We envision a Child Welfare System that minimizes trauma and works cohesively to achieve permanency
We provide children and families access to the services and resources they need in order to safely and appropriately accomplish permanency in a timely manner. Mimi’s House is dedicated to mitigating the effects of trauma on children in care by preventing systemic trauma, addressing the families’ trauma histories and providing necessary and appropriate training for caregivers and staff.
