Individual and Family Mentors

Current and former foster youth and young adults who are without permanent families can benefit from caring and committed adults willing to support them in various ways. Your time, talents and treasures can help youth and young adults succeed.

Consider sharing your experience and expertise with youth in need. Having someone with whom they can communicate and confide in can make a world of difference in their lives.

Life Skills Training and Support  

Youth and young adults in foster care, or those who are considered at-risk, are often in need of life skills training and support.

At Family Roots, we facilitate life skills training such as:  

• Communication skills 
• Decision-making skills 
• Financial Literacy 
• Budgeting  
• Job Interviewing 
• Interpersonal skills 
• Problem-solving skills 
• And More!

Life Books 

Because of the multiple transitions youth in foster care often experience, there are often few tangible memories they have as they grow older. 

Life Books are beneficial to help youth not only preserve childhood memories, but also fill-in-the-blanks of often lost memories. They can also help youth answer questions about their past enabling an enhanced sense of self, thus understanding their place and purpose in the world. 

Life Books can be both sentimental and therapeutic.

Consider making a donation here DONATE TODAY to support this endeavor. Or, consider becoming a Life Book Volunteer and make a positive difference in the life of a child in foster care.

Coaching, Consulting, and Training Services

We provide family life coaching to individuals and couples around a myriad of topics such as: parenting, relationships, family planning, adoption, foster care, and more!

We also partner with other child and family serving organizations to provide consultation and training on a variety of topics - all to ensure the health and well-being of children and families. 

WHAT WE DO:

We assist those seeking to search for relatives whether it's birth parents, children, siblings, or any member of the family. 

We provide counseling and support to those who have been impacted by the foster care system or those who are considered to be at-risk. 

We facilitate mentor relationships between adolescents, young adults and those mature adults seeking to make a positive difference in a young person's life. 

We facilitate family connection or reconnection for those who have become estranged from their kinship family. 

We provide transition services in the form of customized life skills training and purpose-driven life planning workshops to help prepare youth and young adults for independent living.

We create life books for those children and youth in care who have lost connection to birth family - to help them reconnect to their past in a healthy way. 

WHO WE SERVE:

We serve children, youth, young adults and all members of the family unit. 

While we serve all members of the community, we specialize in those persons touched by foster care and/or adoption, including all members of the adoption circle.
