Who We Are

We measure the success of every client we serve in every program. Our results have earned us national recognition through awards such as “Agency of the Year” in the United States by the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities. Aramark gave us their national Community Organizational Leadership Award for effective outcomes while demonstrating “great leadership, strategic governance, a focus on equity, a culture of partnership and innovation, and a commitment to values-based advocacy” (Aramark national press release).

When the status quo isn’t working, we create new solutions. We are the first in the country to bring treatment to the entire family through our Family Healing Center to address neglect of children as a result of drug use by the caregiver. We effectively brought the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP®) program to the United States. Our 412 Youth Zone has been cloned in several places around the country including our facility in Crawford County.

We offer a wide range of integrated and trauma-informed services, both internal and through our partners, to meet our clients’ diverse needs. For example, a family entering our emergency housing may need to acquire job skills to be able to pay for permanent housing. A person seeking employment may need anger management training in order to keep a good paying job. This can be found all under one roof at Auberle. 

We don’t have all the answers, so we build large networks of committed and inclusive partners to help us carry out our mission. Our hundreds of partners include for-profit companies, employers, clients, government agencies, funders, and other nonprofits.
