At the Redleaf Center for Family Healing, we are committed to evaluating and sharing outcomes and best practices for multi-generational mental health and parenting support. Our research is grounded in trauma-informed principles that prioritize safety, patient voice and choice, trustworthiness and transparency, and collaboration. We acknowledge the harm and traumatization of BIPOC communities that has occurred in the service of research in the United States and we actively strive to prioritize patient safety above all else.
