Under the auspices of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and its regional administrator, Communities Connected for Kids, Hibiscus Children’s Center serves children and families throughout the 19th Circuit District – Martin, Indian River, St. Lucie and Okeechobee Counties in Florida.

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 fostering a love of learning are integrated into all phases of staff-client interactions.

In addition, children and teens are given opportunities to experience – many for the first time – life’s little treasures. Treasures most children take for granted, like being read to at bedtime, celebrating birthdays and expressing themselves with paper and crayons or learning graphic design skills.  Children go on outings, are introduced to the arts and participate in school extracurricular activities.  But, most importantly, they are shown love, nurturing and caring.
