Safe Haven recruits, orients, trains and
supports foster families who develop their capacities to provide
a nurturing and structured environment for children and youth, pending
their return home, adoption or transition into independent living.
The Outcome is a Priority for our Clients
1) Reunification & Family Group Decision
Making
We believe that the best outcome for any family is to remain as a healthy single
unit. Utilizing Family Group Decision Making, we earnestly strive for this outcome
first before attempting other options.
2) Adoption
When reunification is not possible, preparing the youth for a new permanent family
becomes our goal. This provides a long-term, stable and nurturing environment
for the child, allowing him or her to fulfill his utmost potential.
3) Mentor for Independent Living
For the children who are not adopted before age 18, our charge is to prepare
them for life as an adult. We identify and provide support and training for mentors
who make a firm commitment to helping youth make a transition into independence. |
