Learn more about the A Home Within-CASA Therapy Project serving youth throughout California. Our volunteers have fully transitioned to teletherapy, continuing to see youth through the pandemic. We envision a world in which every foster child has a relationship with at least one consistent, caring adult. We provide open-ended, individual psychotherapy, free of charge, to current and former foster youth.
A Home Within is the only national organization dedicated solely to meeting the emotional needs of foster youth. We recruit qualified therapists to provide pro bono therapy to one current or former foster youth.

A Home Within Impact Evaluation: In partnership with USF's Foster Care Research Group and University of Oregon's Center for Equity Promotion.
A Home Within has long been committed to documenting the impacts of our work through rigorous research and evaluation.
Since 2001, the University of San Francisco's Foster Care Research Group, led by Dr. Saralyn Ruff and Dr. June Clausen, has measured therapist-reported treatment outcomes for the foster youth A Home Within serves.
Findings show that A Home Within's model of open-ended, relationship-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy for foster youth has contributed to the significant reduction of mental health symptoms including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and dissociative states, all of which would otherwise have grave consequences if left un- or under-treated.
