Suicide is the leading cause of death in the homeless youth population.

Children who are homeless suffer depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms at much higher rates than their housed peers, which affect sleep, behavior, and development.

A shelter bed is not enough. Children need medical care, mental health support, and stability to heal and thrive.

Each patient visit is a chance to break the cycle of homelessness and poor health.
