Restore the Spirit of a Child
Mettle Child, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization giving the gulf region communities of Alabama an ideal to strive towards: Renewing Childhood Experiences® of abused, neglected, and exploited children through art, care, mentoring, and play. In a country as promising as the United States of America, child maltreatment is a national emergency. On any given day, thousands of children reside in out-of-home care due to unimaginable acts of cruelty and are forced to grow up on the streets unprotected, with no home; or in residential treatment centers unloved, with permission only hugs; or random foster homes uncared for, with no sense of family.
Victims of circumstance, long-term severe emotional, behavioral, and developmental problems often befall children who have suffered maltreatment. For this reason, Mettle Child is championing a force of services without walls to protect at-risk children and strengthen families by bringing trauma-informed care into the home and communities where our children live, learn, work and play.

Intrinsically we bestow upon children the bright, loving futures they so richly deserve by offering comprehensive child focused support plans (5 to 15 hours per week or per diem). Founded on the premise that the family is the most powerful social institution and must be supported and preserved unless of course, the safety of the whole child (mind, body, and spirit) cannot be secured in the private residence.
"Mettle Child gave me the tools to change my life! Three months ago I was skipping class and being chased in the streets. Without judging me, Mettle Child listened to me. They helped me find the courage to be myself. Now I'm chasing softballs and going to school everyday. For the first time, I'm happy and not afraid of tomorrow!"
