Be A Safe
Families SchoolConnecting Communities
Safe Families for Children is connecting the heart of our community (schools) with the soul of our community (churches) for the good of children and families. As an evidence-based program, we work alongside schools and early childhood centers to identify and establish a parent and child safety network for isolated families enduring hardship and unforeseeable challenges. By standing in the gap, we offer relational and resource support to help stabilize and strengthen parents and prevent family separation.
Goals of Safe Families Schools:
- Children in the school will receive the support needed for optimal learning. If a child requires respite, it will be provided by a member of the school or network to prevent school disruption. We hope that no child in the school will experience child abuse/neglect and will not need placement in foster care.
- Family social stressors will be reduced, and parents’ social isolation will be eliminated, enhancing the parents’ capacity to care for their child/children.
- Parents’ capacities to care for their children will be enhanced.
- Basic supplies (tangible goods) such as clothing, food, household items, bedding, etc., will be provided to reduce stress at home and school.
