A New Chapter
2022 was an exciting year for FamilyForward as we completed our Developmental Trauma Center.
The campus is the largest center for developmental trauma therapy services in the region, spanning 9.5 acres with two buildings totaling 41,778 square feet. The site is located in North St. Louis County, making it highly accessible for families throughout the area.
The Developmental Trauma Center opened in September 2022, and the Early Childhood Center, with a therapeutic preschool and other early intervention services, opened in January 2023. To help meet our growing need for services, we are also adding occupational therapy services and a Training and Research Institute that will serve as a regional hub for understanding and treating childhood trauma. Later in 2023 we will begin the next phase of the renovation which will include an outdoor space with a walking path equipped with sensory equipment for team members, clients, and the community to enjoy.
The campus is broadening our impact on children and families by enabling us to serve 3,000 children and families with complex trauma by 2025, almost twice as many people as in 2020. We are walking alongside children and families on their thousand-mile journey to hope and healing… and we are one step closer. Thank you to all those that have supported us along the way.
