Hope RISING Clinic

Hope RISING Clinic is the only clinic in our region offering comprehensive services for children with prenatal substance exposure. Our goal is to reach every child and family in need.

The Challenge

Prenatal substance exposure affects four times as many children as autism spectrum disorder, yet resources and services to support this growing population are severely limited. As a division of Wonderland Child & Family Services, Hope RISING Clinic is changing the way our community addresses this silent epidemic.

Prenatal Substance Exposure (PSE)

While a major cause of developmental disabilities, treatment for prenatal substance exposure remains widely unaddressed and underfunded due largely to stigma and shame. Hope RISING Clinic provides a safe, healing, and judgement free environment for families. Hope RISING Clinic staff are uniquely trained to provide trauma-informed, specialized services for kids with PSE  to optimize their prospects for a healthy and productive life.

FASD Awareness & Action

FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) is the leading preventable cause of birth defects and developmental and learning disability worldwide, but there is little awareness about the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and FASD remains an “invisible disability.”  Together, we can change that.
