Safe Families for Children – Treasure Coast surrounds families in crisis with caring, compassionate community. We are a nonprofit, volunteer movement serving Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties. We create extended family–like supports for struggling, isolated families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated to keep children safe and keep families together.
MEET OUR TEAM
Ana Ruleman
Intake Specialist & Family Coach Supervisor
​As a Business Manager at a radio station in 2001, Ana attended a professional goal-setting seminar and, instead, set a personal goal to care for children in crisis. Two weeks later, she became a foster parent and, eventually, left her career in radio to become a certified therapeutic foster parent with a dedicated 6-bed crisis home. After caring for more than 300 children, Ana set a new goal: support families in crisis before foster care becomes necessary. She loves the mission of Safe Families for Children to keep “Children Safe and Families Together.”
