NewDay reaches out to and serves fractured families and their children encountered through the Family & Juvenile Courts and Child Welfare Systems.  NewDay places them on a path that leads to healing by providing them with the necessary tools to rebuild their lives. Ultimately, children are at the heart of every NewDay program.

NewDay has identified families and children impacted by family disruption (divorce, separation, abuse, neglect) at the point where our services begin.  Through the courts and through Child Protective Services, our staff and Chaplains meet with fragmented families, juveniles in trouble with the law, fathers delinquent in child support, families facing the possibility of losing custody of their children and children who feel alone and confused over the separation of their parents.  There is the non-custodial parent who just found out that his child was placed in foster care; the custodial mother who is struggling to make ends meet due to lack of child support; the father who has lost his job and is in arrears in child support; the separated couple who cannot agree over access to their child; the child who feels caught in a two-way stretch between mother and father; and lastly, the child whose trauma has just increased because their parent was considered unfit and is facing living with strangers.

NewDay treats people with dignity and respect.  There are no “Cookie Cutter”, people.  There is no “One Size Fits All” approach. NewDay believes each person is uniquely created by God and is therefore priceless.  We take people where they are, we do not pre-judge, we treat them fairly.  We help them navigate a system that, to them, is foreign and very scary.  We honor their position as a parent, a spouse, a juvenile and a child.
