About Us
The Healing Embrace Network is a movement to bring healing, happiness, and success into the lives of child victims and adult survivors of abuse and neglect. We aim to accomplish this mission by enhancing the quality of care and services available to these children and adults.
The Healing Embrace Network is founded by dedicated professionals with decades of collective experience in the service of abused and neglected children. Our passion is born out of our direct experiences and challenges as advocates for people.
We aspire to help our fellow advocates provide the best care possible to their clients, applying pragmatism, common sense, responsibility, value, and accountability to their work.
Join Us
If you’re likewise passionate about improving the quality of care your clients receive, then join us by making a commitment to really help child abuse victims and adult survivors. We mean, really help—as opposed to just going through the motions of helping.
In a world that too often neglects the needs of children and adults in distress, and at times exploits them for self-serving aims, we strive to empower them to find peace, happiness, and success in their lives. Please join us in this effort.
All the best,
David Lee Cummings & Brenten T. Byrd
Founders, The Healing Embrace Network
Positive Thoughts
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his tasks; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction."
– Mrs. A. J. Stanley

Cha-ching!
How did one of the founders of Healing Embrace fall in love with advocacy work? It's all the fault of a little girl and her makeshift feelings box.
