Why we exist.
Where we are going.
For more than 21 years, ASun Star has remained committed to one unwavering purpose: helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome barriers, and build brighter futures, one person, one family, one community at a time.
To provide a therapeutic environment inclusive of the children, youth, adults, families, and communities we proudly serve. We strive to bring an innovative approach to developing and/or restoring a positive sense of self and identity through forward thinking evidence-based, evidence-supported and trauma-informed curriculums, with positive interactions and advanced technology. Understanding that trauma plays an important factor in everyone’s life, we apply Positive Behavior Intervention Supports that are intertwined with the Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA).
To help every individual see a picture without a box, and to see beyond a single life experience to be the “brightest star” that they can be.
At ASun Star, every individual is welcomed with dignity, respect, and compassion. We promise to listen with intention, serve with integrity, lead with innovation, and walk alongside every person and family throughout their journey. Our commitment extends beyond providing services, we are dedicated to building confidence, creating opportunities, and delivering care that transforms lives.
Care that begins with understanding your story.
Every person has a unique story, and we believe exceptional care begins by understanding that story. Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing that life experiences shape how individuals grow, learn, and heal. We combine evidence-based and evidence-supported practices with advanced technologies, innovative treatment models, and person-centered planning to deliver individualized care that meets each person where they are.
Our services are strengthened through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), the Nurtured Heart Approach®, and strength-based philosophies that focus on building resilience, celebrating success, and recognizing the inherent value within every individual. Rather than focusing solely on challenges, we cultivate environments that foster confidence, emotional well-being, healthy relationships, independence, and lifelong achievement.
