Assisting families in need

Any families in our coverage area facing challenges that might threaten the safety and development of their children can look to Family to Family for assistance. We use a “wrap-around” approach to help families through a crisis and beyond. Wrap-around encourages families to discover and use their own strengths and assets to solve problems, support their children, set and reach goals and define their futures.

Our staff helps support families by…

• providing information and referrals
• advocating for families as they navigate the child welfare system
• connecting and encouraging foster and adoptive parents and kinship caregivers
• assisting emancipated minors and young adults to live on their own

Families can get assistance and linkages to 

resources for a variety of needs, including…

• emergency food
• utility assistance
• mental health concerns
• parenting support
• job training and education
• transportation, child care and/or respite help
• landlord/housing issues
• municipal services
