Get Help Now.
Do you feel overwhelmed and struggle to meet the needs of your children?
We’re here to help.
Safe Families for Children is a network of families who volunteer to care for your children while you can get back on your feet and stabilize your crisis situation. Our goal is to keep your family intact. Once you feel like you and your home environment is stable and healthy we’ll work with you to reunite your family as soon as possible.
As the biological parent (or legal guardian) you maintain full custody of your children. And you are encouraged to participate in decisions regarding their care while they are being hosted. Our aim is to form a partnership between you and the volunteer families and see the Host Family as an extended family. We encourage the relationship to continue even after your children return home.
What happens next?
1. Your local Safe Families for Children chapter will receive your completed form and contact you regarding the needs (i.e. length of hosting needed, number of children, etc).
2. Your local chapter will work to find a suitable family to serve you and your family.
3. Arrangements will be made to coordinate the pick up/drop off of your children.
4. Communication between you, the host family and the local Safe Families chapter is ongoing and consistent for the duration of the hosting and beyond.
