Year over year, our programs continue to enrich the lives of individuals and their families, and build a stronger more resilient community.

On Giving Tuesday!

We have the chance to help parents like Angie, who faced addiction, incarceration, and separation from her children, where she rebuilds, heals, and reunifies with the support from SPIRITT’s Wraparound team.

By donating, you help strengthen connections between families and break cycles of trauma for our SPIRITT families. Please take a moment to watch Angie’s story and see the power of resilience and healing through connection in action.
