At Heartland Family Service, we are committed to building a culture that is
trauma informed and values and celebrates diversity and inclusion. We believe
this allows for better service delivery and innovation, as it encourages our

Trauma Informed Care is an approach to engaging people with histories of trauma
that recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that
trauma has played in their lives.  Trauma Informed Care also acknowledges the
effects of working with trauma survivors on our workforce and seeks to build

If you believe in our mission of creating healthy families and communities, and
like a fast pace, collaborative and team-oriented environment, then Heartland
Family Service is the agency for you.
