Goals Are Important to Us
Traditional Foster Care
Program Goal: To provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment until their goal of reunification with family, adoption, or permanent placement can be accomplished.
Specialized Foster Care
Program Goal: To provide a safe, stable, and supportive home environment for children whose unique needs require therapeutic intervention, as well as adolescents with minimal to moderate special needs.

Our Approach to Continued Success
It has become evident through the years that all social service programs are subject to change, but the one constant remains that it takes the effort of a community as a whole to provide for and meet the needs of our youth. Our main goal continues to improve the quality of life for the children entering our programs. We believe this can best be accomplished through advocacy and efforts to increase biological, sociological, and psychological development. We hope that by addressing our children’s aforementioned attributes, we will strengthen family bonds and capitalize on their strengths.
By connecting the foster and biological families, we develop continuity between both sets of guardians and strengthen the environment in which the child is intended to flourish. Through this process, we also attempt to discuss and develop realistic expectations for all involved parties. Along with setting realistic expectations, it is necessary to continue to improve the existing skills of foster and biological families, in addition to addressing their gaps in knowledge of the system and struggles faced by the children.
