At Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, we take pride in being among today’s leaders in trauma-informed care to help kids in Chicago heal from abuse, neglect, housing instability, and neighborhood violence. But each child at Mercy Home is unique, and there is no one solution for treating their trauma. To offer the best care to our kids, we must continually evolve to meet their needs.
