Family Connection is a program that creates a safe space and supervision during parent-child visits for families who are working towards reunification in the foster care system. The majority of families inside the system are there for poverty -related stressors, with their greatest needs being access to resources and healthy support systems. This program uses the safe spaces inside of churches, non-profits, and house-like buildings run by these organizations to meet the gap of safe, comfortable, and private visits spaces, and trains community volunteers to provide not only supervision, but also relational support.
The foundation of this program is the belief that the church has always had a critical role supporting and loving on families experiencing crisis and it’s time that local churches are part of the solution of system reform across our nation.
Site leaders experience thoroughly training and mentorship through FTC, and a variety of supports and resources are accessible to site leaders and to volunteers after launch.
