Changing lives, Building Families, Strengthening Communities
We work to build and strengthen these stable families through a community of expert care and support for youth, parents, children, and the professionals who help them.
Our Guiding Principles
Relationship-Building
We believe connection is the catalyst for positive change. We foster relationships between family members, families/individuals, and their peer support networks, and families/individuals and the mentors and professionals who support them.
Education
We provide educational and training opportunities for all members of the family support ecosystem, from prospective adoptive parents curious about the adoption process to school teachers working with trauma-affected youth to social workers and other professionals seeking Continuing Education (CE) credits.
Trauma-Responsive Care
We are committed to raising the awareness of our community, staff, board, volunteers and clients on the powerful impact that trauma may have in our lives; the tools that can be leveraged for prevention and healing; and the hope that comes from empowering resilience in all of us.
