This year thousands of children in California will be diagnosed with a life threatening illness. While seeking treatment for their conditions, children and their families face enormous emotional, spiritual, and psychological stressors. Programs providing services to address these stressors, such as resource guidance, patient advocacy, and psychosocial and spiritual support are not currently available.

Who We Help

Our agency specializes in families who are having difficulty functioning in three or more of the following arenas: emotional, psychological, spiritual, financial, social, occupational, and/or interpersonal. If you know someone that can benefit from the expert guidance of our professional staff, we are just a phone call away.

How We Help

Haven’s Heart was established to meet this need by providing these critically needed services free of charge in the greater Los Angeles area.

We realize that this is a time of overwhelming familial emotional, psychological, and physical stress; it is difficult to balance the needs of your child and family with your daily life. Our multidisciplinary team of social workers, chaplains, resource specialists, and bereavement coordinators is trained to guide the family through this difficult period with the patience and expertise that allows the family time to heal.

The Goal

Each case is different but the goal of Haven’s Heart remains the same; to assist the child and their family through their current crisis. Most cases typically span a 12 week period. During this journey, our multidisciplinary team addresses every aspect of the family’s needs. This includes: personal in-home visits, an individualized plan of care, resources, referrals, and follow up, providing a Haven in a time of crisis.
