When you're a parent in crisis, the last thing you should worry about is your kids having nowhere safe to go. Breathe Again Cradle of Light provides 24/7 crisis childcare for children ages 0–17 — so parents can get the mental health support they need, knowing their children are safe, cared for, and loved.
We are building the first integrated crisis childcare and mental health facility in Westmoreland County — a place where parents in crisis can get the help they need, while their children are safe, supervised, and supported under the same roof.
Our vision is a 30,000–50,000 sq ft facility where parents receive on-site mental health treatment and families are stabilized together — not separated by a system that wasn't built to hold them.
Parents get mental health treatment. Children get safe, nurturing care. All under one roof, at the same time — because families heal together.
A trauma-informed space designed from the ground up to feel safe and healing — for parents who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and need somewhere to land.
Whether a parent is in mental health crisis, domestic crisis, or simply has hit a wall — we don't turn families away. We meet them where they are.
Every day in our region, parents hit a breaking point with nowhere to turn. There is no system that says "we'll take care of your kids while you take care of yourself." Breathe Again exists to be that system.
A parent in mental health crisis can't get better if they have no safe place for their children. We remove that barrier — completely.
Parents have access to licensed mental health professionals right here — no referrals, no waiting lists, no navigating a broken system alone.
Our goal is never separation — it's stabilization. We support the whole family unit so they can heal and go home stronger than before.
Safe, nurturing care for children ages 0–17 around the clock — so parents in crisis never have to choose between getting help and keeping their kids safe.
On-site licensed mental health professionals available to parents — therapy, crisis counseling, and stabilization support while their children are cared for nearby.
Walking alongside families during and after crisis — offering guidance, a listening ear, and help navigating next steps. Our support doesn't end when the crisis does.
Every inch of our facility and every member of our team is trained in trauma-informed care — for parents and children alike.
