About us
4KIDS is propelled by the vision of a home for every child. Whether that is a child removed from their home for the first time, siblings who need to stay together, a young mom in a unplanned pregnancy who needs a refuge, or a young adult who needs a place to belong, 4KIDS is there with hope and homes. The 4KIDS team brings hope to babies, kids, teens, and young adults by providing safe and secure environments for healing, equipped parents and caregivers who are trained to love kids from hard places, essential resources to meet their physical needs, nurturing counsel to help them thrive, and a renewed sense of value in their hearts. In 1997, 4KIDS was started to pursue the vision of a home for every child in crisis. Today, our staff has grown to over 100 committed individuals across Broward, Palm Beach, and the Treasure Coast.

#TraumaInformedCare should be accessible to everyone who cares for children, so we've gone international with #4KIDSEPIC. We believe that when everyone has a knowledge of trauma and the effects it can have, kids have a stronger opportunity to experience healing and growth! Two of our amazing EPIC Clinicians visited Brazil this month and taught parents, teachers, pastors and so many other individuals the importance of mental health in kids. We are so excited to expand this knowledge around the world!
