A Bit About Us
Turning Your Needs Into Our Action Plans
Here at Healing Hearts of Families USA, we’re committed to investing our time and resources into communities meeting people where they are and guiding them to go a step further to change their lives and that our their children.
​
We started this journey in 2000 by 2001 we are driven by a goal to keep families safe from violence.
We expanded our services to include assisting families with loved ones incarcerated, providing a family education for domestic violence impacts and families with the need to learn more about reentry which would redirect the returning family member from ever returning to prisons and jails.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION:
Our goals are to blend the family with support to help in deprogram the survival mindset developed by their loved ones which they had to use to endure their imprisonment.
​
We also provided a place for education supports along with behavior modification built into the program designed for children who were kicked out of alternative schools. **Goal visioning**
We saw a need for children and their parents to have meaningful and beneficial time spent together. The mostly single parents to spend quality time with their children to develop trusting fun experiences allow the children to open up to their parents.
We adopted a community and built a park as a family base of engaging the development of those bonding, loving memorable experiences.
The park provided a place where parents can relax, decompress read a book, cook and watch and engage with their children in play in the same space. **Family Bonding**
The American experience that the most affluent neighborhoods see is not the same one most Black Americans live in. We plan our activities and supports around the things that matter to the hearts of families and communities that we serve.
Our mission base is always centered on children their futures, healing families dealing with what tears and pull poor families and communities apart.
Healing Hearts provides mending and bonding programs, activities and family supports. We do our part in making the the lives of children, their families or caregivers better in experiences which are healthy and safe for low income households and communities.
​
We provide support to parents as a means to stabilized the children and their futures.
​Since 2000, we’ve been supporting our community in a variety of ways and measuring our success not just by numbers and size, but by impacts and transformations of lives. The long term impact that stabilizes those we serve are our rewards. When they call back and tell us what we offered really help them, they thank us and check in.

Some of the people we served needed a helping hand, a kind heart, some just a listening ear, a stern rebuke in thinking, or just someone to help them think through their crisis. Some needed loving arms to hold them and their children together because of their fear, trauma, grief or abuses and we help by walking through it with them to get their lives stabilized.
