MORE THAN A STUFFED LION

To understand the impact Louie can have on a child recovering from trauma, think of the children in your life. In fact, think back to your own childhood and a time you were frightened or experienced an obstacle. Who did you turn to? Who was there to comfort you? For the children and families of our community, NewPath is there to help our clients build resilience and the inner power they need to continue growing and preparing for the future.

And Louie the Lion? Well, Louie is there to comfort them along the way.

Louie is the tight squeeze a new residential youth needs to feel safe enough to fall asleep. He is the first cuddly friend a student makes as they transition to a new school. Louie is a warm hug at the end of a long, successful day of therapy and treatment. He is a consistent friend who travels with a foster child during an inconsistent time. Above all, Louie reminds a child in need that someone is out there rooting for them.
