OUR PHILOSOPHY

We Believe:

• that each child is a special gift from God, blessed with unique strengths, talents, abilities, and the potential for positive change.
• that life’s problems and circumstances can sometimes overwhelm or interfere with a family’s ability to properly and effectively care for its children.
• that courage, commitment, compassion, and direction are necessary to address problems and to offer or accept forgiveness, even if it is neither requested nor deserved.
• that each child needs a safe and loving place to grow, build skills, and explore strengths.
• that appropriate boundaries are essential for a child to grow and thrive.
• that each child and family deserves a thoughtful and individualized plan that sets forth goals, identifies strengths, defines responsibilities, and contains reasonable expectations.
• that each child needs an opportunity to be reunified with his or her family whenever conditions and circumstances allow.
