Healing is How We Interrupt Harm.
Welcome to Kid C.A.T.
501(c)(3)
Kid C.A.T. works to end incarcerating kids as adults.
We provide restorative approaches to addressing conflict, and disrupting cycles of harm through relationship.
At Kid C.A.T., we believe healing is the foundation of justice.
Through restorative practices and relationship-centered work, we support people impacted by incarceration to heal trauma, take accountability, and reclaim their humanity—while strengthening the communities we all belong to.
Together, we’re building a legacy of repair, belonging, and hope—one story, one relationship, and one circle at a time.
We believe that in order to break down systems of generational harm, we MUST uplift the lives and voices of those directly responsible and impacted. We co-create spaces for creative expression and truth-telling so that we make room for rewriting the narrative of what it means to be human. When we unwrite old/past untruths about who we are in this world, we make room for possibility: lasting healing that transforms communites.
