More Opportunities More Experience More Growth
At Open Arms, we believe growth can happen at every level, from individuals and families to the organizations and professionals who support them. We provide support that meets people where they are while helping them work toward where they want to be.
Through individualized support, practical resources, skill-building, and meaningful experiences, we help clients recognize their strengths, overcome barriers, and create positive changes in their everyday lives. Our goal is to create a supportive space where each person feels heard, valued, and empowered to move forward.
We also provide Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) support for organizations looking to strengthen their teams and improve the way they work. Using practical, behavior-based strategies, we help organizations identify areas for growth, improve staff performance and training, strengthen workplace systems, and create environments that better support both employees and the people they serve.
At Open Arms, we believe challenges can create opportunities to learn, strengthen skills, improve systems, and discover what is possible.
Our trauma-informed approach starts with making sure each person feels safe, heard, and respected. We understand that past experiences can shape how someone responds to the world around them, so we focus on building trust, honoring individual needs, and giving people a voice in their own care. Our goal is to support while helping individuals build confidence, regain a sense of control, and move forward in a way that feels right for them.
Our mindfulness approach helps individuals slow down, become more aware of the present moment, and better understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. We focus on practical strategies that can help manage stress, build emotional regulation skills, and create healthier ways of responding to everyday challenges. The goal is to help each person feel more grounded, confident, and better equipped to handle what comes their way.
Our self-development approach focuses on helping individuals recognize their strengths, build new skills, and work toward goals that are meaningful to them. We encourage personal growth by helping each person identify what they want to achieve and take realistic steps toward getting there. The goal is to build confidence, independence, and the skills needed to continue growing and creating positive changes in their everyday lives.
Children and families involved in foster care can face challenges that are often complex and unique to their situation. Our approach focuses on supporting the whole family by providing practical resources, guidance, and opportunities to build skills that can make everyday life a little easier. We work alongside children, caregivers, and families to understand their individual needs, strengthen relationships, build stability, and create an environment where children and families can grow together.
Our group skills approach gives individuals a supportive space to connect with others, practice communication, and build stronger social skills. Through shared activities and conversations, participants have opportunities to express themselves, listen to different perspectives, and learn from others who may be working through similar challenges. Groups also provide a safe place to practice giving and receiving feedback, develop greater self-awareness, and build confidence in connecting with others. Our goal is to create a sense of belonging while helping each person develop skills they can use in their everyday lives.
Our parent training program is designed to give parents and caregivers practical tools to better understand and support their child’s emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. Through 11 core weekly sessions, families learn strategies they can use at home to strengthen communication, respond to challenges, build positive routines, and support their child’s overall well-being. For families who may need additional support, seven supplemental booster sessions are also available. Our goal is to help parents feel more confident and equipped while building skills that support both their child and their family as a whole.
Our Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) supports help organizations strengthen their teams, improve workplace systems, and create environments where both employees and the people they serve can thrive. Using practical, behavior-based strategies, we work with organizations to better understand what is working, identify areas for growth, and develop meaningful solutions that support staff performance, engagement, training, and overall organizational success.
Our case management services help individuals and families navigate the different needs and challenges that can come up in everyday life. We work alongside each person to identify their needs, connect with helpful community resources and services, coordinate care, and work through barriers that may make accessing support difficult. Our goal is to make the process feel less overwhelming while helping individuals and families build stability, access the right supports, and move toward the goals that matter to them.
