Our mission is to build regulation, resilience, and identity before crisis occurs—interrupting cycles of punishment and replacing them with pathways of restoration.
Founded by De’Andre Wheeler and Teilani Lewis, Rein & Restore Foundation is a prevention-first, neuropsych-informed wellness organization supporting children, youth, and families, especially those historically underserved.
We create safe spaces for nervous systems to regulate, resilience to grow, and families to reconnect through healing, mentorship, nature-based experiences, and community.
Our approach
Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and healed.
Neuropsych-informed
Supporting brain development and emotional regulation.
Trauma-informed
Healing-centered care that meets youth where they are.
Culturally affirming
Honoring identity, history, and lived experiences.
Family-centered
Strengthening the whole family and nervous system.
