Since 2003, Children’s Haven has been a temporary home for more than 8,000 area children with more than 50,000 nights of safe, nurturing care while families were assisted to resolve a crisis. We rarely host events but a 20th birthday is worth celebrating, both to congratulate everyone who has made Children’s Haven the trusted community resource it is and to raise awareness of its services and on-going mission.
Children’s Haven of Southwest Missouri, Inc. is a private, nonprofit home for children providing nurturing crisis care during times of heightened stress in their family. Children’s Haven is a temporary home to children ages birth through 17 years whose families are experiencing a crisis. A family crisis may include but is not limited to homelessness or unsafe living accommodations, lack of utilities or food, parents or sibling hospitalization, fear of abusing or neglecting children and parent seeking mental health or substance abuse treatment. “Through the services we provide, we work to protect children, prevent child abuse and neglect, reduce family stress and keep families together.”
