Believing a child or teen is inherently “bad” is a huge disservice to them, their future and our community’s future. Rather, we help kids who have trauma, kids who haven’t learned how to properly express their emotions, and kids who need a support system to be there for them day in and out. Learn more about how we can be a support system at EllipsisIowa.org.

Every parent and guardian can remember getting jitters on the first day of school. Your child may be experiencing some similar back-to-school nervousness, but how do you know if what they’re feeling is actually something more serious? And if so, what can you do about it?

We are so grateful to Prairie Meadows! We received $280,000 from their Legacy Grant program that will benefit our Meredith campus, the future home of a girls group foster care facility. Thank you for investing in our community, Prairie Meadows!

An ellipsis is a pause in a sentence or story, and that’s exactly what our organization stands for. We provide a safe space for kids and families to rest, learn and heal before they determine the next chapter of their story. Learn more about how you can support Ellipsis: https://lnkd.in/gXB6X-9J.

Our residential programs provide a crucial service for the kids who stay with us: They are a safe place to stay, heal, and learn life skills and other behavior and communication skills. If circumstances necessitate that a child or teen can’t stay at home, we’re here to help. Learn more about our impact: https://lnkd.in/g79xB55P.

Through our Hopeful Spaces capital campaign, we're partnering with organizations that want to make a direct positive impact on the lives of kids in our community who deserve a safe, welcoming space to stay in as they determine the next chapter of their story. Girls in our community have long lacked this kind of facility. We are now happy to name the girls' facility on Meredith Drive in Des Moines after a generous donation by the Noble Foundation in honor of Barbara Noble. Thank you for making a difference!
