Our history

Over the last 50 years, Nexus has helped thousands of children, families, and adults find individualized paths to emotional, mental and behavioral health. What began in 1972 as a single program  in Minnetonka, Minnesota, has grown into a network of agencies in five states. We are nationally recognized as a progressive leader in youth and family healing, and we’re more committed than ever to fill gaps in service.

Today, Nexus is a nonprofit, 501(C)(3) organization, headquartered in Plymouth, Minnesota, serving thousands of youth and families each year. We provide community mental health services, foster care and adoption services, and residential treatment programs across five states.

We create a customized plan for each child, family, and individual—and provide a combination of support services to put that plan into action. Our innovative personalized approach helps heal trauma, break cycles of harm, and restore hope when they need it most.
