Mission

The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is committed to the prevention of child abuse and neglect and provides trauma-informed emergency intervention, 24-hour respite care, and support to families in crisis through:

​

• Short-term care for young children in a safe and nurturing environment

• Empowering families to resolve crises and build resiliency through culturally responsive interventions.

• Equitable access to concrete support, crisis counseling, and parenting education

• Grassroots community outreach and training to build child abuse prevention awareness.

• Advocacy for the safety and wellbeing of all children and families in our region

​

Vision

• We work to ensure that every child can live in a safe, loving home in which they can thrive and reach their full potential. Every day, we strive to make our world a better place for our children so that they have the best possible start in life. Through our efforts to prevent instances of child abuse or neglect before they happen, we boost the positive impact we have on children’s lives and on our communities exponentially.

​

• As an organization, we place a strong emphasis on teamwork and community empowerment to achieve this vision. We would not be able to help as many children and families as we do now without the expertise of our world-class clinically-trained staff, the community leaders we partner with, our thousands of individual donors throughout the region and the nation, and the investment and commitment of corporate partners. Despite the terrible odds of generational poverty, crime, and the tragic consequences of addiction, we see substantial, consistent improvement in the communities we serve.

​

• As the Crisis Nursery continues into its fourth decade of keeping kids safe and building strong families, we are coming closer and closer to making our vision more real every day.
