About The Vashti Center for Children & Families

Located in Thomasville, Georgia, the Vashti Center serves as a haven for children in crisis. Founded in 1903, Vashti is a National Mission Institution of United Women in Faith (UWFaith, formerly United Methodist Women). Our mission is rooted in our covenant relationship with UWFaith which unites us for the purpose of turning faith, hope, and love into action on behalf of the most underserved children and families in the state of Georgia. Originally started as a home for girls, our mission grew into a vital resource serving youth and families in Southwest Georgia communities, a rural region characterized by scarce behavioral health resources and poor health outcomes. The children who arrive on Vashti’s campus and walk through our doors are anxious, grieving, distraught, or emotionally injured. They need structure, guidance, empathy, support, comfort, and safety. Our team welcomes them to begin their journey of healing by drawing closer to God and growing in their relationship with him to find hope, freedom from their burdens, and joy. Sadly, their time with us at Vashti may be the first experience they are given to have the chance to know God and build a relationship with him. We are called to accomplish his work through our mission with a continuum of therapeutic services that address: Childhood trauma Substance abuse Mental illness Behavioral issues Stress disorders The children we serve often grow up or live in scenarios where neglect, manipulation, abuse, drug use and distrust is common and the way of life in those environments. PROGRAMS Our program offerings include: -On-Campus Residential Care -Afterschool Clubhouse -Community Counseling -Community Outreach & Training -Trauma-Informed Training -Substance Abuse Treatment Refer a child by visiting our website or emailing hello@vashti.org.
