Assuring children become successful adults is more than our mission - it's the passion that permeates everything we do. From that group home in rural Cedar Rapids nearly 40 years ago, Four Oaks has grown to become one of the state's largest agencies devoted to child welfare, juvenile justice and behavioral health. In all 99 counties, Four Oaks covers the needs of kids and families. With more than 850 employees who provide prevention, intervention and treatment programs and services, we believe that every child and family needs the opportunity to succeed. Four Oaks and our dedicated staff have been recognized in Iowa and nationally for innovative and effective treatment of youth who come to the agency with a variety of behavioral and emotional problems.
