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.
Saturday, September 12th, we welcomed nearly 400 people to Lynndale Park for a morning of community building and family fun! We are absolutely awestruck by the joy and generosity our families, staff, board, and supporters brought to the event.
If you were able to join us, we hope you left with a full heart, tired kid(s), and sense of connection to our shared community and purpose. If you weren’t able to attend, we hope to see you next year!

Wonderland is intensely aware and concerned about the immense stress and fear in our communities about ICE activities right now. You are our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues, and our family. We are committed to treating every person with dignity, regardless of their immigration status. Our organization will not voluntarily share information about our clients with federal immigration authorities. Wonderland’s mission is service delivery, and we want to share community resources to help families increase knowledge and hopefully reduce stress.
“Every new skill and every success have made her better able to progress to the next thing. We are glad to have had the privilege of working with Hope Rising Clinic.”
