Redstick C.A.R.E.S. is an organization committed to building a resilient community in greater Baton Rouge and the surrounding nine parishes by improving the community's behavioral, mental and social health through human connection.
We do this by providing counseling and therapy, programs for people with special needs, disabilities, and/or who may be on the autism spectrum, educational and skill building activities, support groups, school system advocacy, and a dedicated CARES phone line to connect those in need to our programs and resources.

How we CARE and CONNECT to you.
Our C.A.R.E.S.

We offer top quality counseling services to all in need through individual, family, couples, and group therapy. We accept all insurance including Medicaid and guarantee a session within 72 hours of contact.

We advocate on the local and state level for families with children or special needs to navigate special education in public school systems. In addition to sitting beside parents in IEP meetings, our advocates offer free educational seminars to parents of children with special needs.

Resources
Our food pantry serves over 200 individuals each week. Fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses are offered along side grocery staples for those experiencing food insecurities. Monthly clothing donations are offered in partnership with the food pantry to meet the needs of our growing youth!

Education
We offer educational programs at our campus, in the EBR school system, and around the community. Topics include female empowerment, parenting, life skills, building healthy relationships, and more! Kids enjoy tutoring and after school enrichment while adults wind down with stress managemnet and coping skills.

Support Services
Human connection is the link to a healthy wellbeing. We offer support for grief, neurodiversity, chronic illnesses, pre and postpartum, and social anxiety. We also offer support through donation of food, clothing, and hygiene items.

Partnerships
"The rising tide lifts all boats." We embody the message of this quote by hosting community events and nonprofit lunch and shares in which leaders come together to collaborate and share resources.

Our Programs
Our programs address life issues and challenges while also inspiring and encouraging in a non-threatening, safe, yet fun manner. Our program goals are to empower every individual to lead purposeful, independent, and self-sufficient lives. From social groups to art, camps, tutoring, cooking classes, reading readiness, to exercise, our comprehensive programs serve infants, children, youth, teens, young adults, adults, parents, special needs, seniors, LGBTQ+ population, and groups with other needs.
