Immerse: Transforming Youth from Crisis into Overcomers

In 2018, there were 9,120 children in the state of Arkansas that were victims of abuse or neglect. Kids are experiencing more trauma that leads to higher mental, emotional, and physical manifestations as they enter adulthood. Kids will try to find ways to cope that are more likely to be risky and dangerous.  Trauma within kids that is left unhealed leads to a very dangerous patterns of continuous abuse and other violence. Immerse Arkansas is working to combat this cycle, by building a new cycle of help.

At Immerse, they build relationships that create a path for growth and healing. This model leads to overcoming which is crucial to kids futures. The founders believe in their model of overcoming and  “do life” in the same neighborhood as the youth they serve. They live where the work needs to be done and follow a serving mentality. God has blessed them with a servant’s heart and this is just a start. Arkansas is just one state that is actively trying to help kids who experience trauma. Immerse is a brand that can collaborate with other systems across the states. Immerse is anchored in values because they have “hearts motivated by worship, a work ethic that is scrappy, and a commitment to stick with each youth, no matter what.” The redemptive work they practice is actively seeing progress in kids hearts and providing them tools to overcome and thrive.
