Nexus-Kindred Family Healing

We provide foster care and adoption services in Minnesota. We use innovative, personalized approaches to heal trauma, break cycles of harm, and reshape futures.

Our mission is to change the course of a child's life by stabilizing families and strengthening mental health. Nexus-Kindred Family Healing is part of Nexus Family Healing, a national nonprofit mental health organization with over 50 years of restoring hope for thousands of children, families, and adults each year through community mental health therapy, crisis and stabilization, foster care and adoption, and residential treatment. We believe every child is worth it — and every family matters. Learn more at NexusFamilyHealing.org.

In an episode of our podcast, "In This Family", author Moon Zappa opens up about growing up in a chaotic household, her desperate attempts to win her father’s attention, and the path she’s taken toward true healing.

It’s a deeply human conversation about family, self-worth, and the hard but beautiful work of understanding where we come from — and how to grow beyond it.

Listen to episode 4: https://buff.ly/UY4Va3band be sure to check out "In This Family" every Wednesday!

Nearly 2.5 million children in the U.S. are growing up in kinship families - being raised by grandparents, other relatives, or close family friends. These families keep children safe and loved. Nexus-Kindred is committed to supporting these families throughout the year. Learn more: https://buff.ly/pleIXLV

Kinship families have powerful strengths. Their deep bonds, cultural ties, and resilience help children feel safe, stable, and seen. With the right support, caregivers raise children with better mental outcomes, stronger senses of identity, and lasting feelings of belonging - outcomes that outpace those of children placed in non-kin foster homes. Nexus-Kindred Family Healing provides support through all stages of the kinship and fostering process. Learn more: https://buff.ly/pleIXLV

Unlike parents, caregivers don't have automatic legal rights - and they often step in unexpectedly, during a crisis, to raise a child they didn't plan for. Nexus-Kindred Family Healing has resources and support for our kinship families, and we celebrate Kinship Month not just in September, but every day.

Back-to-school season is exciting… but let’s be honest, it can also bring a lot of anxiety—especially for kids.

Even with supplies ready, the “what-ifs” can creep in. "What if I fall behind?" "What if I don’t know anyone?"

As parents and caregivers, the best thing we can do is listen, validate their feelings, and help them make a plan for when things don’t go perfectly.

Every school year comes with challenges—but knowing someone is in their corner can make all the difference.

On Friday afternoon, our foster and adoptive families gathered at Lions Park in Shakopee for a day of good food and fun! Families enjoyed a delicious lunch from the Vikings Table Food Truck, sweet treats from JonnyPops, and refreshing drinks from Enterprise Fleet Management.

After plenty of chatting, laughter, and playtime, everyone headed over to Valleyfair to keep the fun going!

We are so grateful to our generous donors who made the day extra special—thank you to the Minnesota Vikings for donating LED Nite Lites, and to everyone who gifted toys, books, blankets, games, and more for our families. Your kindness helps create joyful memories and reminds our families they are surrounded by a community that cares.
