Our Successes
We’re dedicated to creating safer, more productive lives for infants, children, young adults, and families through our comprehensive programs.
The following statistics are based on our 2023-2024 fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
Residential Group Homes
94 girls and boys received therapeutic care and educational support in four warm and nurturing specialized therapeutic group homes.
HomeSafe is one of just five specialized therapeutic group care agencies in the state of Florida, and the only one in Southeast Florida. We are accredited to provide an intensive therapy program that child abuse victims need to heal from their past and find confidence in their future.
30 children progressed enough to be able to step down to a lower level of care:
- 10 moved to a less restrictive program
- 8 moved to a foster home
- 7 were reunified with a family member
- 3 were adopted
- 2 aged out of the program (turned 18)
92% of the children who attended school throughout the year maintained an 80% attendance rate. 100% of the children were promoted to the next grade level.
86% of the children in our care for 6+ months demonstrated improved behavior and functioning (CGAS scores).
94% of the children reported an increase in access to recreational activities. (This highlights our dedication to providing enriching experiences that support the kids’ overall development and well-being.)
SafetyNet
351 domestic violence survivors (women and children) received crisis intervention and group therapy either in English or Spanish.
100 of those enrolled in the program received individual counseling (in addition to the group therapy).
83% of adult, teen and child clients demonstrated an increase in adaptive coping, resiliency skills and knowledge (evidenced by pre- and post- assessments) about safety planning, and how to remain free from further domestic abuse in the home.
Program therapists were trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR). The therapy alleviates distress associated with traumatic memories and helps individuals move forward with a healthier perspective. The therapy is being used with adults, teens and children.
Healthy Beginnings
14,583 mothers who gave birth in Palm Beach County were screened while in the hospital and received helpful information about postpartum depression and child development.
3,638 families received an initial intake or initial assessment for their child under the age of 5, and were enrolled in services within the Healthy Beginnings system.
1,085 families who participated in the program received developmental toys. The toys are great hands-on learning tools that promote development.
435 families received safe sleep services and were provided portable cribs for their families. Each family received educational material related to best practices for safe sleep.
Independent Living at Pond Place
Bernstein Independent Living Campus
14 young adults lived at Pond Place during the year, and actively participated in our independent living housing program.
ALL the young adults were pursuing an education – in high school, college or a vocational program.
Of those served:
- 4 currently attend Palm Beach State College (PBSC)
- 1 graduated from FAU with a degree in communications
- 1 completed their Cosmetology certificate
- 1 graduated from high school
- 3 moved on to other living options and are continuing their education
100% of the young adults opened up a savings account.
57% of the young adults obtained their driver’s license and registered to vote.
