24-Hour Specialized Care

Sometimes each passing moment can be a struggle for children with severe emotional and behavioral challenges. That’s why we offer compassionate, supervised care around the clock from our highly trained professionals.

 

 

Autism Services

Life can be challenging, yet so rewarding, with a child living and learning on the Autism Spectrum. That’s why Great Circle’s Autism Center for Excellence offers children with autism and their families nationally accredited learning support, respite care and around-the-clock supervision when needed.

 

 

Counseling Services

Asking for help takes courage. And at Great Circle, we believe every child and every family deserve access to an individualized counseling experience.

 

 

Crisis Services

In times of crisis, Great Circle offers support services and emergency shelter for those facing circumstances beyond their control.

This includes two emergency children’s shelters, a crisis center for women and children fleeing domestic/sexual violence or who are homeless, services to help homeless youth create a stable future, and a Child Advocacy Center that helps child victims of sexual assault and abuse.

 

Foster Care Services

Every child deserves a loving home. But sometimes a child’s biological home isn’t an option. That’s why ensuring a child has a safe, caring foster home is so important.

At Great Circle, we provide a wide array of foster care-focused services:

  • Foster homes – working with families who have opened their home and hearts to children during a traumatic and emotionally challenging time in their life.
  • Therapeutic foster care – supporting children and teens in transition from residential treatment or whose needs cannot be met through a traditional foster home placement.
  • Foster parent training/licensing – providing classes and support to license adults ready to guide a child toward a positive future.
  • Fostering Futures – St. Louis-focused program serving families with a foster child, children in foster care, and families working toward reunification with their children.
  • Foster care case management – helping to alleviate family issues that necessitated removal of children from the home and into state’s custody, including working with both foster and biological families to ensure the child is fully supported.
