    Why is family important?

    A family fulfills a child’s most basic developmental needs:

    • Feeling a parent-child bond
    • Feeling safe and secure
    • Feeling loved and supported
    • Trusting someone will always be there

     

    How do we make it happen?

    We make it possible for a child to live with a family by:

    • Helping families imagine possibilities
    • Helping families see what works
    • Assembling a child and family team
    • Connecting families to services
    • Finding the right Support Family
    • Ensuring a safe transition
