There’s no shortage of gratitude at A Home Within! We’re so deeply grateful for the compassion, generosity, and commitment that make this community what it is.

Connection and healing are amplified through grateful reflections on what truly matters, and by offering comfort in times of stress—especially for those without robust family support systems. 🤍

Remember, there’s still time to give in 2025. Every gift is an investment in long-term, consistent care—for youth and the therapists who show up week after week, year after year, for as long as it takes.

Happy holidays from the whole A Home Within team! We wish you moments of peace, rest, and connection.

Big things are coming in 2026 and we can't wait to share them with you! Keep your eyes peeled. 👀

Our Building Practice in Community (BPIC) program and our Continuing Education curriculum are both designed to support therapists and make sure they don’t feel alone in this work—that they have a community, practical tools, and spaces to grow as they offer long-term, trauma-responsive care.

In the new year, we’re launching some exciting new opportunities to engage with these programs!

And don't forget: we already have January CE trainings on the calendar! Browse events: https://buff.ly/EaTYPqr

This record-breaking year has been one for the books:
✨ 11 new chapters launched across the country

Your gift now ensures that we carry this extraordinary momentum straight into 2026. Every dollar you donate directly supports providing free, high-quality therapy to current and former foster youth — for as long as it takes.

A Home Within has exciting news - we're now partnering with Foster Greatness!
Far too many young people leave foster care only to find themselves without a safety net — no community, no guidance, no resources.

Foster Greatness is changing that through their platform -- where adults who've aged out of foster care can find connection, opportunities, resources, and real support, without time limits.

Our shared vision? A world where every person who has lived through the foster system feels seen, supported, and unstoppable. We’re proud to uplift partners who share our belief that healing happens in community. Soon, A Home Within will be listed among their many resources available to foster youth! Check out what they have to offer, and send this post to someone who might need it!

Thirty years ago, A Home Within began with a simple promise: to show up for foster youth, for free, for as long as it takes. Today, that promise is alive in every client-therapist relationship — like long-time client, Maya said:

“After years of moving between placements, my AHW therapist is the first adult who’s kept showing up. Week after week. Year after year. That’s changed everything for me.”

In 2025, 400 new volunteer therapists joined our community — and we’re gearing up for even more in 2026. Please consider making a year-end gift to sustain these relationships at ahomewithin.org/donate.

Thank you for building a future where every young person who’s experienced foster care has a therapist who keeps showing up.
