Strengthening Families During Foster Care Placement
Organization Mission:
To enhance the lives of children, youth, and families by providing human services that meet the psychological, spiritual, and cultural needs of those we serve.
Help us reduce trauma for foster youth and children by facilitating safe, in-person meetings with their biological families. During the pandemic, it's been tough for foster children to maintain important in-person visits with their birth families. Studies confirm the psycho-social value and emotional well-being benefits of these visitations are a proven and essential component to successful family reunification. For our many low-income families, transportation and related expenses are often a barrier to these visits. Additional PPE costs (masks, hand sanitizers and thermometers) associated with safe visit offer additional barriers. Your support will ensure these important parent-child interactions by funding the transportation, PPE and other minimal associated expenses.
