Impact Stories
Bethany House Of Northern Virginia

Bethany House of Northern Virginia is located in Fairfax County, Virginia, providing emergency shelter and support services to women and children escaping domestic violence. We help women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence regain health and dignity. We provide women with safe, restorative care while giving them the support and resources they need to transition into independent lives free from abuse. We are non-jurisdictional. We accept women and children from across Northern Virginia, from the entire Washington, DC metropolitan area, from other states and beyond. Once our families are stabilized, we help them get reestablished in their community by providing temporary housing and support. Realizing the vision of our founder Doris Ward, since 1979, BHNV has been a safe haven for women and children suffering the nightmare of domestic violence while also serving as a resource to our community at large. BHNV is funded by grants and donations from businesses, charitable foundations, churches, organizations, and individual community members.

Open Paths Counseling Center

Open Paths mission is to meet the evolving health care needs of the community through quality counseling for individuals and families at affordable fees; free therapy programs for at-risk children and youth in local schools; and a highly-regarded therapist training program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Paths Counseling Center has a forty year history of providing quality, affordable, psychotherapy to Los Angeles residents who would otherwise lack mental health care due to lack of affordability, cultural sensitive, proximity or other barriers. Typical clients struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and/or trauma, much of which is exacerbated by living in poverty or with other types of societal marginalization. Open Paths has evolved as one of the most diverse counseling centers in Los Angeles. We recognize the importance of diversity as central to our mission of “meeting the evolving mental health needs of the community…” and understand how important providing culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed psychotherapy is for our clients. Recognizing the inherent benefits of diversity, Open Paths’ board of directors, leadership team, and clinical staff are as culturally diverse as our clientele. This is deliberate so that our clients can see their cultural experiences reflected back to them every week when they engage in psychotherapy with us.

Five Acres The Boys & Girls Aid Society Of Los Angeles County

Originally founded in downtown LA as an orphanage, our initial mission was simply to provide safety to children who had no home. In time, our mission expanded to also focus on the well-being of our clients and caring for the mental and emotional health of children who were increasingly coming to us as a result of abuse or neglect. Having grown to an agency caring for nearly 8,700 children and family members annually across five counties, we now strive for permanency – a permanent, loving home – for all those in our care. These three pillars; safety, well-being and permanency provide the framework for all of Five Acres’ current programs and they will guide our steps in the future as we continue seeking even more effective means of caring for children and families in crisis. For over 129 years Five Acres has been committed to preserving successful childcare programs and developing innovative services for children and families in crisis. With over 100,000 clients served since its founding in 1888, Five Acres currently cares for 8,700 children and families annually, across five counties including Los Angeles. Safety For over 129 years, children’s safety has been one of our priorities. Five Acres works to address and heal the trauma that effects children and their families so that children can grow safely and thrive within a loving family Well-being Healthy families are more likely to remain intact and enjoy a greater level of well-being. Five Acres believes families stay together when they are provided with essential prevention and intervention resources for success Permanency Five Acres actively strives to provide a sense of belonging by connecting children to caring adults with safe, permanent and loving families. With strong stability and the chance to stay in a loving home, children are able to rebuild their sense of belonging and grow.
