No. Light Beyond Shadows is not a therapy program.

We provide trauma-informed support, coping tools, and group connections, but we do not diagnose, provide clinical treatment, or replace mental health.

 

2. Is there a cost for programs?

Services at Light Beyond Shadows are low-cost to free, depending on the program.

We never turn a family away due to financial barriers, and assistance is available.

​

3. What ages do you serve?

We currently support children and teens ages 5-17 through age-specific groups:

• Ages 5-8

• Ages 9-12

• Ages 13-17

​​

4. Do you accept kids with behavioral challenges?

Yes. We understand trauma can look like anger, withdrawl, shutting down, or acting out.

Kids will never be judged or shamed here.

​

5. Do parents attend with their kids?

No. Groups are designed for youth only. However, we do offer caregiver support and resources.

​

6. How do I enroll my child?

Click the "GET HELP" page, fill out the short form, and a team member will contact you.

​

7. Are volunteers background-checked?

Yes. Every volunteer or staff member must pass a background check, complete trauma-informed training, and commit to our safety standards.

​

• Abuse or neglect
