What's Here
Providing organization
Amara
Amara offers services that reduce the trauma of foster care system involvement and programs that can help prevent system involvement when possible. Throughout Amara’s 105-year history we have tried to be forward thinking and affirming to all. We envision a just and equitable world where all children, youth, and families experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, involvement with the child welfare system have equal and plentiful opportunities to grow and thrive.
Amara serves the evolving needs of children, youth, and families impacted by the child welfare system. Centering equity, we advocate for system change and bridge gaps by providing compassionate wrap-around resources, while helping to reduce trauma and bring healing. Our work helps maintain family and community connections while preventing child welfare involvement when possible.
