Studies show that trauma-informed programs for foster youth can reduce C-PTSD symptoms by 40% and significantly improve trust, anger management, and anxiety outcomes—often by 30–50%, depending on the intervention.
Our Emotional Regulation class and mentorships are open to children that have been affected by foster care which includes reunited bio kids, foster, kinship placed, or adopted children. Our monthly Life skills workshop is open to any age teen from 16 to 21 yrs old.

First Light Program
When a child enters foster care, it’s often after a moment that changes everything. Their world shifts in an instant—new faces, new homes, and no clear sense of what comes next. Many arrive with almost nothing, carrying fear, confusion, and the weight of a situation they didn’t choose. It’s a hard day for them, for the caseworkers who care deeply, and for the families opening their doors. Even when they’re placed with relatives, the transition can feel overwhelming and lonely.
The Light House is building a program to soften that day—to make sure every child has what they need, to ease the stress on everyone involved, and to remind these kids that they are not facing this moment alone.
