Every child and family who comes to us is carrying something heavy. Our work is to help carry those heavy emotions by creating a space where care is mindful and centered on healing. Healing is, and always will be, our highest priority.
That's why we're proud to share that the Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas has received its Level 1 Trauma-Informed Certification from the Ecumenical Center, the certifying entity for the Trauma-Informed San Antonio Project.
To receive this level of certification, an organization must meet requirements across five key domains: Safety, Transparency & Trustworthiness, Respect & Empowerment, Collaboration & Policy, and Skill Building & Emotional Intelligence.
For the families who walk through our doors, this certification is a promise. It means a trauma-informed approach shapes every part of our mission, and that we will keep meeting the diverse and changing needs of our community with hope and healing.
Thank you to everyone who supported this effort including our staff, volunteers, board members, and the donors who make this work possible. Together, we are ensuring that thousands of children across South Texas will have access to no-cost grief support when they need it most. No child should have to walk the painful journey of grief alone.
