Council for Children’s Rights
“We believe that every child is unique and, therefore, more multi-faceted than merely a bundle of actions or behaviors. Actions and behaviors, regardless of what type, point to issues of wholeness – physical, emotional, intellectual, and have repercussions. Rather than focusing on what appears to be the current predicament of a child in crisis our program concentrates on the whole child.”
