“All of our community depends on how we take care of our children. And the health of the community today dictates where we're going tomorrow. It might not feel like it affects us right now, but it will affect us.”
When kids have experienced trauma and are removed from their homes and communities for one reason or another, Wedgwood serves as a place where kids can heal and continue to grow. Jason Lheureux, an Associate Director of Residential Programs here at Wedgwood, knows that Residential Care is never the ideal situation for a child, but when it is necessary for the well-being and safety of a child, there’s an opportunity to build skills, empower growth, and establish better supports moving forward.
In this Coffee Break Conversation, Jason chats about Wedgwood’s residential programs, our creative, individualized approach to care, and how we have an opportunity to focus on others.
