Where Safety Becomes Strength

For nearly half a century, two organizations—Crisis Nursery and Child Crisis Center—walked parallel paths in Phoenix and Mesa, dedicated to protecting children. When they merged as Child Crisis Arizona, they amplified their impact.

Today, Child Crisis Arizona is a beacon of safety and healing. From emergency shelter and foster care to early education and prevention, we provide stability and hope to families. As we celebrate 50 years, we honor the children, families, volunteers, and staff who make this possible, and we look forward to the next 50 years of continued impact.
