Be a community that supports a safe childhood for all

4Kids4Families is a new approach to foster care placement in the Texas Piney Woods.
As a community organization, we partner with community experts to support the well-being of everyone involved, including children, their families, and the foster families who bridge the gap.

 

Collaborative

Dynamic

Relational

Every child longs to be
with their family

Separation carries a cost.

It’s traumatic for both parent and child – and if not handled well, it can perpetuate the very cycle it was meant to heal.

Freedom to restore

However, families can be restored when the right services, therapies, and programs support:

  • Healing from trauma
  • Fewer transitions between placements
  • More stability
  • Academic success

A new approach

4Kids4Families steps in for Region 4. As a community-based model, we’re able to connect parents, children, and foster families with local support systems.
