Kids In Distress (KID) is a nationally accredited organization that is dedicated to preventing child abuse, preserving families, and providing treatment to children who have been abused and neglected. Established in 1979 as a shelter, KID has grown to possess a five-acre multiple program campus in Fort Lauderdale, FL, as well as a 4-acre campus with two family foster group homes in Southwest Ranches, FL. Their comprehensive services include individual, family, and group therapy and counseling, preschool, aftercare, and summer camp programs.

KID also focuses on recruitment, training, and support of foster/adoptive homes, and provides prevention, reunification, family preservation, and maternal and child health services. The organization believes in providing a stable and nurturing environment for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. They offer foster care services to ensure that these children can develop emotionally, intellectually, and socially to their fullest potential.

In addition, KID offers preschool, aftercare, and summer camp programs that create a safe and positive environment, enhancing academic achievement, promoting social, physical, and character development, and strengthening relationships with adults and peers. They also provide individual and family counseling, group counseling, and various other support services to families in need. By investing, imagining, and improving children's futures, Kids In Distress is making a significant impact on the lives of at-risk children and families.
