For a child, belief starts small.  
With a community. A family.  
Someone to believe in them, growing their trust in the world. 
But when adversity or trauma forces them to grow up too soon, they begin to lose that sense of belief. 
They come to know a world where safety and stability are conditional.  
At CEDARS, we show them it doesn’t have to be that way. 
Since 1947, we’ve been here.  
Choosing not to ignore challenges. Adapting to fit the need.  
Helping rebuild trust in relationships. And finding solutions for kids and families, no matter the circumstances. 
It’s the driving force behind everything we do.  
Because we believe in them. 
Unconditionally.
