About All Star

"Adverse childhood experiences (trauma) are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today."

Dr. Robert Block, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics
About All Star

Foster a Child on the Campus of Hope & Healing

The need for foster parents is great. We have created the Campus of Hope and Healing – a place where kids living in foster care can thrive.

We support foster parents every step of the way and All Star is to here to help you thrive as a foster parent.

The Journey Can Be Long and Difficult

We have created a place for children to begin their journey to Hope and Healing. The All Star Children's Campus is a refuge for children - a place where healing occurs, hope is restored, and spirits are renewed.

Campus of Hope and Healinga campus truly built on love

The construction of the Campus, which includes a 13,000 square foot pediatric treatment and research center, 6 single family 5-bedroom foster homes, and a 3,000 square foot clubhouse and tutoring center are now complete.

Learn About the Campus

Our Core Programs

Each of these programs is being implemented and researched in an effort to create effective intervention models that can be replicated in other communities.

These programs are being implemented and evaluated by an exceptionally dedicated group of staff with advanced training and expertise in trauma who are united around their commitment to improving the experiences and outcomes of children and families in foster care.

Our Programs

Evidence Based Mental Health Intervention

The All Star Children’s Foundation clinicians are highly trained trauma specialists with expertise and training in evidence-based interventions for children with trauma and trauma-related disorders. The impact of complex trauma on children and families is vast and diverse. Learn More.

Foster Parent Support

With the mission of ASCF to address childhood trauma, we are working closely with local foster parents and training them with the Resource Parenting Curriculum (RPC), which is supported by The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). Learn More

Birth Family Engagement

One area of need for the children and families within the foster care system is the support for birth parent-child visitation practices. Learn More

Trauma Training

All Star Children’s Foundation (ASCF) strives to provide children and families who have experienced abuse and/or neglect with individualized, comprehensive, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care. Learn More

Trauma-Informed Systems Integration

A key activity for ASCF is providing training in trauma-informed systems integration with individuals and groups in the community who interact with children and families who have experienced trauma. Learn More

Enrichment Programs

All Star is offering an array of enrichment programs for children to experience and through which to learn about life’s goodness, including art, pets, music, sports, yoga, and more. Learn More

Trauma Screening & Assessment

Trauma screening for children entering out-of-home care is a recognized best practice for understanding if and how a child’s prior history impacts his or her current functioning today. Results from a trauma screening also guide treatment and service recommendations. Learn More

💖 Happy Valentine's Day from All Star Children's Foundation! 💖 
We can't think of a better way to celebrate it than by sharing this work of art and love created by a talented All Star kid and presented to Graci, All Star's founder. The back reads, "For Ms. G, Thx you for making All Star! I don’t know what will happen to me and my sisters if we weren’t here!” Moments like this remind us why we do what we do, and why it is so important to keep advocating for, supporting, and providing love to our children who need it most. 💙💛
