About Child Savers
ChildSavers provides mental health services to children and families in Richmond. They support kids facing trauma, behavioral challenges, and domestic or sexual abuse through outpatient, virtual, school based, and 24/7 crisis programs. Serving children across Richmond in schools, clinics, and homes, ChildSavers makes care accessible anytime, anywhere.
Build Resilience and Emotional Strength
The center uses a trauma informed approach that builds resilience and emotional strength in children. Therapists employ creative methods such as art, play, and sand tray therapy to help kids express feelings and develop coping skills. Family therapy and psychiatric care strengthen each child’s support system and promote long term emotional well being.
Immediate Support and Accessible Care
Beyond therapy, ChildSavers offers Immediate Response, a 24/7 year round crisis service providing fast, compassionate intervention for children experiencing trauma in Richmond. They also deliver school based services in Richmond Public Schools, Hopewell City, and Colonial Heights, bringing care directly to students to support their emotional and behavioral health in familiar settings.
