Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We are aiming to provide children healing from child abuse. Any child who discloses sexual abuse is provided a specialized interview, medical evaluation, and mental health referrals. We provide children in foster care playrooms to meet with their caregivers during separation. We provide awareness and services for children who are at risk or have been human trafficked.

Our strategies are to follow best practices. We are a nationally accredited program.

All of our staff is highly trained and has specialization in the areas needed to help children heal from abuse.

We have moved to a larger building where we can provided services more effectively and efficiently for more children and families in Medina County.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
