The Ellis Family Support Team

With three Social Workers and a Family Navigator, our team is here to support Ellis families without judgment.

​

Think of us as part of your village, and reach out whenever you need us. We help families access basic needs, connect with community resources, and provide referrals. You’ll also see us in classrooms, supporting educators and children with social-emotional learning.

​

Thank you for trusting us with your children. We look forward to getting to know you!

Ellis is a second family filled with loving, patient, kind and well-equipped staff.
Ellis helped me get early intervention for my daughter, [connecting me to] a speech therapist, occupational therapist and physical therapist to work on walking, talking and help her gain strength in her arm.
​
When my daughter was diagnosed with Autism, Cherish put me in contact with ABA services, and overall was just a great support system as I accepted the diagnosis. 
​
I’m so thankful for having Ellis as apart of the foundation of her development."
