Our Impact
As we reflect on the past year, I am truly inspired by the resilience and dedication of our staff, as well as the youth and families we are honored to serve. The year 2024 brought significant changes, challenges, and opportunities for growth within our community and agency. We proudly introduced new initiatives, such as our Counseling Program and Caregiver Education Program, while making the difficult decision to conclude our Supervised Family Time program.
Throughout these transitions, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to a trauma-responsive approach, fostering a safe and nurturing environment where families and young people can heal and thrive. Additionally, we have bolstered our community partnerships to proactively address the diverse needs of our community with a focus on holistic well-being.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has walked this journey with us and eagerly anticipate continuing our collective efforts to create lasting positive change in our community.
With Love and Appreciation,
Erin Zeiner

“The emotional calm and grounding that is created when you know that someone’s in your court and they know what is going on… and that they will drop everything to come and help you in the moment that is the most out of control, the most emotional, the most painful part of your week. Not only does [The Jacob Center] support our child through that, but they support us.”
