ABOUT OUR WORK

The Children’s Home Inc., (CHI)  a local 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization that provides residential treatment programs at its family support and resource center.  CHI cares for severely neglected, abandoned, and abused children in the Central Florida region who are removed from their parent’s custody.  The Home provides a safe, nurturing environment, professional rehabilitative therapy for the children and their families, and assists with adoption and foster care placement.

The Imagination Center will be a research facility and first-of-its-kind technology-based art and play therapy program that will serve to improve the health and lifestyle of the severely abused and neglected children residing at CHI.  The center provides the children with opportunities to learn, play, and participate in fun and challenging projects utilizing mind-stimulating computer graphic design, animation, multimedia, and robotics programs that spark creative thought, enliven self esteem, and provide them with computer and engineering skills they can use to regain confidence and reset the future. The mission of the program is to use creative technologies as an art therapy tool to help children express themselves during this critical transition in their lives and break the cycle of abuse.
