30% of the US population admits to feeling lonely every week. To compound this issue, 81% of those lonely adults also experience anxiety and depression. We are here to be your family!💙💚🩵

Because of a supportive community, a mother didn’t have to face a difficult crossroads alone at the start of the year. A supportive community stepped in right away, offering the steady emotional and physical support she needed to remain grounded.

Happy Social Work Month!🩵 You are the backbone of this work, and we are thankful for you.🙏 In March, we celebrate the fact that every day, some 682,000 social workers across the nation act as advocates, champions, and leaders who make our society a better place!

The average age of those hosted through Safe Families for Children is one year or younger. Hosting lasts usually 30 days or less, depending on the situation. #safefamilies #safefamiliesforchildren #children safe #familiestogether #SFFC

We believe the power behind the Safe Families' model is that we surround families with Circles of Support that offer not only access to resources but to family-like relationships!

Relationships are the heart of Safe Families, fostering trust and providing support. Host Families play a vital role by voluntarily opening their homes to care for children whose parents choose to place their children in their care.

A Family Friend is a caring and reliable person who supports Host Families or parents facing crisis by offering support and encouragement. Family Friends play a vital role by helping parents regain stability and supporting Host Families.

Family Coaches are the bridge between parents, Host Families, and other volunteers, ensuring everyone feels supported and connected. They’re there to listen, help parents set or attain goals, and cheer them on as they make progress, fostering resilience and stability.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month (#CAPM). And we want to highlight the need for prevention in our community. We don’t have to wait until a crisis occurs. Learn more about Safe Families for Children in an area near you: safe-families.org.

Investing in prevention is significantly more cost-effective than managing the long-term consequences of family separation and child trauma, with analyses suggesting that every 1 million invested in early prevention yields multiple dollars in future savings.

Preventing child abuse begins with supporting parents!🩵 Check out our blog this month at bit.ly/4vwvQHD and learn how you can be a part of a movement of hope to keep children safe and families together. #safefamiliesforchildren #ChildAbusePreventionMonth

We also know the importance of Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), like having family to talk to, feeling safe and protected by an adult in the home, and community connections, which can buffer the effects of ACEs and support a child’s capacity to thrive.
