A Child's Light

A Child's Light A Child’s Light provides expedited mental health support for children and adolescents, ages 2 to 18, who have experienced severe trauma.

A Child’s Light provides no-cost, expedited trauma-informed therapy for children ages 2–18 who have experienced abuse or trauma—helping the most vulnerable children heal, thrive, and reclaim their childhood. Founded in Chester County, Pennsylvania, we work closely with law enforcement, schools, and community partners to identify children in crisis and connect them quickly and compassionately with licensed trauma therapists. Following best practices and funding both pre-licensed and licensed therapists with trauma-informed training, children receive the resources and tools they need to shift their severe trauma experiences from defining their present to becoming a part of their past. All therapy sessions are fully funded by A Child’s Light, removing barriers such as cost, long waitlists, and confusion for families already facing overwhelming challenges. Because healing from trauma isn’t just about therapy—it’s about restoring hope, trust, and a sense of safety, we exist to ensure no child carries the weight of trauma alone. With your support, we can shine a light into the darkness and give every child the chance to heal, thrive, and reclaim their future. Ways to Give:

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday — and we want to share why your gift matters.

Recently, a grandmother reached out to us in desperation. She was faced with an impossible choice: sell her car, or find a way to get her grandchild the mental health services they urgently needed.

No caregiver should ever have to make that decision.
Because of community support, A Child’s Light stepped in immediately and ensured her grandchild received trauma-informed therapy at no cost — and without delay.

This is the difference you make.

💛 Join us tomorrow to help provide urgent care to the most vulnerable children in our community.
