Clinical Care

At WinShape Homes, we help children and families experience healing and restoration through the gospel. Our mission is centered on the child welfare system. We help foster, adoptive and kinship care families gain access to clinical resources that support every member of their household. Becoming trauma-informed is a journey, and we want to help child welfare families in this pursuit. The resources on this page are designed with that goal in mind. If you have questions about these resources or becoming trauma-informed, please contact one of our staff members at the link below.
