Our Mission

Redstick C.A.R.E.S. exists in hopes of creating a resilient community by providing access to human connection through counseling, advocacy, resources, education, and support services for families
and individuals in the greater Baton Rouge and the surrounding parishes.

Our Values

Human Connection
No person, community, or ecosystem exists in isolation. We need each other. And we need to learn from each other. We believe the mental and emotional wellbeing of individuals is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of our community. Providing free, accessibility, immediate, and consistent avenues for human connection is our path to wellbeing. 

Systemic Justice
Every member of our community deserves access to care and opportunity to reach their full potential. In service to our mission, with the help of those most affected, we identify and address barriers to access of quality services. 

Integrity
To serve our mission, we hold ourselves and our services to high standards. We are committed to providing quality and timely attention to those in need. We honor our community by doing the next right thing, even when no one is looking. 

Active Hope
To build the community we deserve, we must see beyond current challenges and choose to take action. Believing in change is our commitment to creating a resilient community.

Grit
We do not see challenges and setbacks as barriers to change. We fail when we are unwilling to adapt. With creativity and innovations, we push forward with courage and resolution.
