About STAR House
What we offer
STAR House, a nonprofit crisis nursery in Saint Paul, Minnesota offering free, safe, holistic and trauma-informed care to children in an overnight care facility.
Parents/guardians are recipients of our family support network and encouraged to care for themselves. STAR House family advocates are available to inform parents about additional resources and de-escalation tools to benefit the overall health and well-being of the family.
We offer services to overcome barriers or life stressors families may be facing (housing instability, financial instability, inadequate childcare, domestic violence, etc.).
We partner with other community services to make available the resources, care and support that the families desire.
Why it's important
Families can face immense stress from issues like unemployment, homelessness, mental health needs, medical problems, domestic violence or simply the need for a break. In such crises, many parents turn to their network of family and friends for help.
Unfortunately some families lack a trusted support system to care for their children during these challenging times.
This is where STAR House comes in as a reliable ally, offering free, safe overnight care for children and supportive services for caregivers. Turning to STAR House during tough times is a testament to both their trust in us and their dedication to their family's well-being. It reflects their exceptional parenting skills and we are honored to welcome them with open arms and without judgment. At STAR House, our ongoing mission is to support caregivers in a respectful and nonintrusive way.
