Hibiscus Childrens Center - Jensen Beach, FL

Hibiscus has been saving children's lives for three decades. We have been providing a safe haven to children removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment or neglect at the Hibiscus Tilton Family Shelter in Jensen Beach, Hibiscus Village in Vero Beach and the Sanctuary4Kids Emergency Shelter in Port St. Lucie. Since opening its doors, Hibiscus Children's Center has provided over 325,000 nights of safety to abused, abandoned and neglected children and youth. Hibiscus Children's Center's mission is to maintain a safe shelter for children who are abused, abandoned and neglected by providing prevention, early intervention, and advocacy in quality residential, assessment and recovery programs. Children and teens sheltered by Hibiscus are provided therapeutic counseling, their medical needs are met, and they are afforded scholastic, career development and life skills support. Literacy, educational pursuits and the instilling of a love of learning are integrated into all phases of staff-client interactions. Our clinical staff consists of mental health professionals with a wide range of experience and expertise in child and family therapy. Our licensed therapists are trained in a variety of age appropriate and best practice treatment interventions including Play Techniques, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
