Chosen is dedicated to supporting children and youth in overcoming trauma by creating strong, stable relationships within foster, kinship, adoptive, and reunified families. Through a family systems approach, care management plans, and trauma training, we equip parents and caregivers with the tools to build lasting, healthy connections, focusing on healing, family restoration, and positive change.
After working with Chosen, 99% of families stay together.
Our program is effective in preventing rehospitalization.
Our evidence-based programs are designed to reduce anger.
Our service model is effective in decreasing anxiety.
Families are the primary source of healing for hurting children. Let our care team guide your family on a journey towards hope and healing.
We approach each situation with our 5C Connection Framework; clinical research, compassion, collaboration, creativity, and most importantly community. By connecting families with the right combination of resources, we have witnessed miraculous outcomes when our licensed, trauma-informed practitioners intercede by exhausting every resource at their disposal until our families have a workable plan to follow.
Our work is not transactional but truly transformational, which requires trust. By strengthening the relationship between the child and caregiver, healing begins.
Our team does whatever it takes to ensure children are on a path of healing. We equip families with the tools they need and walk beside them on their journeys.
Our service restores hope and connections in families. Healthy families shape healthy communities.
Chosen was conceived in the heart of our founder, Jenni Lord, at the start line of a half-marathon. She had the thought that she needed to be running for something bigger than herself. Passionate about vulnerable children, Chosen originally began as a race event to supplement adoption funds under a national nonprofit.
Soon, the team recognized much deeper family needs to help children heal and have permanency. Chosen restructured as an independent nonprofit in 2016 and updated its mission to focus on children healing from trauma by strengthening their families.
