The Rainbow Project, located in Madison, Wisconsin, has been a cornerstone of trauma-informed and culturally-responsive mental health care for children and families since 1980. Specializing in services for young children—primarily ages 10 and under—the center provides comprehensive therapeutic support aimed at healing from trauma, strengthening family relationships, and fostering resilience. Services include individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, play therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, in-home treatment, and comprehensive psychological assessments. The Rainbow Project is also known for its rapid response team, which provides immediate crisis stabilization and trauma support for children and families affected by community violence or sudden traumatic events.
In addition to direct clinical services, The Rainbow Project plays a leading role in prevention, education, and advocacy throughout Dane County. Programs such as Bounce Back, CBITS, FACE Kids, and Yo Soy, Yo Soy Unica! provide school- and community-based support to help children build emotional regulation, social skills, and self-esteem. Families can also benefit from specialized groups for Spanish-speaking parents, Latina youth, and grandparents or relatives raising children. Through its consultation and education initiatives, including the C.O.R.E. program and Speaker’s Bureau, The Rainbow Project provides training and guidance to educators, caregivers, and community organizations. With over four decades of experience, the center continues to serve as a trusted resource for families navigating trauma, ensuring that children and caregivers alike receive compassionate and effective mental health support.

When you look up the word: Five Stars, you’ll see the meaning is: (adj) of the highest quality. I believe, through experience, when you and/or someone you adore receives services from Common Threads- you’re and/or they’re getting just that. Top tier, inspiring, nurturing, empowering, genuine, patient centered care!
