About Tupelo Children’s Mansion
Our mission at Tupelo Children’s Mansion is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children needing care can heal and thrive while discovering the love of Jesus Christ.
Our Mission and Vision
Tupelo Children’s Mansion is located in Tupelo, Mississippi, and is a residential care facility for children in challenging circumstances. We welcome children of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities. TCM endeavors to provide a home and family-oriented environment for children experiencing crises or other difficult circumstances. We aim to meet not only the physical needs of the children in our care but also to provide for their emotional, mental, and spiritual welfare. We strive to improve the lives of children through a nurturing and healing environment that focuses on each individual child’s needs and well-being.
Mission:
To provide a safe and nurturing environment where children needing care can heal and thrive while discovering the love of Jesus Christ.
Vision:
To be a leader in residential care by exemplifying excellent and glorifying Christ.
TCM is a highly regarded nonprofit organization committed to living our vision of being a leader in residential care by exemplifying excellence and glorifying Christ. Our operational funds come from various sources, including individuals, businesses, churches, and national fundraising efforts. TCM provides a home, whether temporary or long-term, in a
family-type setting under the care and supervision of qualified caregivers we call houseparents. Children at TCM may lack other family resources as a result of parental death, abandonment, homelessness, or other family crises.
Currently, TCM cares for an average of 85 children at any given time while serving approximately 125 children annually. Children living at TCM, as well as the children of staff members, attend Tupelo Children’s Mansion Academy (TCMA), our on-campus school that provides education to Pre-K through 12th grade students. In addition to having individualized plans for children with special needs, TCMA offers advanced curriculum and dual-credit courses for students planning to attend higher education.
Permanency planning is a high priority at TCM, with every effort being made to reunite children with their families whenever possible. For situations where reunification isn’t feasible, TCM seeks to find loving adoptive families for these children. If adoption isn’t an option, TCM provides training to prepare children for their future and independent living. No matter their circumstances, our goal is always to do whatever is in the best interest of the child and promotes their safety and well-being.
About Us
Our Values
Tupelo Children’s Mansion was founded on the principle that all children should have access to the loving care that they require. Everything we do at TCM aims to achieve this truth through our four core values of CARE: Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence.
Compassion
Compassion refers to having an awareness of others’ distress and a desire to alleviate it and is the foundation of all that TCM strives to do. We serve children and families with compassion by providing assistance without judgment, ridicule, or blame. Through this approach, TCM empowers individuals to overcome challenges, find hope in difficult situations, and experience the unwavering love of Jesus Christ.
Accountability
TCM emphasizes accountability as crucial for the success of our employees, children, and families. Accountability is a critical component in the operations of TCM because it establishes clear expectations and responsibilities while fostering order and efficiency.
Respect
Respect is fundamental to TCM, where every individual is treated with dignity. We recognize and value the diversity of cultures, beliefs, and circumstances of those we serve and demonstrate respect through humility and sensitivity to differences, as well as by promoting cooperation and integrity in order to create healthy connections. TCM endeavors to teach children the importance of self-respect and making positive choices that enhance our
well-being rather than cause us harm.
Excellence
Because TCM is founded on the principles of pure religion, we aim to uphold excellence in every aspect of our operations, seeking to bring glory to Jesus Christ. Whether in care, education, therapy, or any other area, TCM strives for excellence, recognizing that our work is ultimately done for God rather than for man.
Helping kids Since 1953, because every child deserves hope!
