We serve children, youth, young adults, and all members of the family unit, and specialize in supporting persons impacted by foster care and adoption, as well as justice-involved youth and other vulnerable populations.
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. The program offers:
Life Skills, Life Books, Life Planning, and Vision Boarding
In our Heart Strings program, we remember those without a secure family connection or support system. We know loneliness can be devastating, even harmful, and is experienced by most children and young people in out-of-home care. Research shows a meaningful connection to family helps people at any age develop a sense of belonging. The single factor most closely associated with positive outcomes for children and youth is meaningful, lifelong connections to family.
We offer:
Family separation is difficult for everyone involved. For this reason, it is incredibly important to seek support from others who understand the challenges.
When moms and dads aren’t able to parent due to their children being removed from their care, and/or a judge terminates their parental rights, it can come with layers of stigma, shame, and even grief. Many parents often carry this burden alone.
This group is a safe space which offers support for birth parents who are involuntarily separated from their children through foster care, adoption, juvenile justice, and other reasons. We offer understanding, empathy, confidentiality, and solidarity. Sessions are offered at no cost. Let us help you navigate this journey together.
We believe in acknowledging and supporting individuals at all phases of life. This includes celebrating centenarians - those who have been blessed to reach 100 years and beyond! We provide a special gift and recognition to those centenarians who have reached this accomplished and rare milestone! If you know of a person who will soon celebrate their 100th birthday or is already 100 years old or older, please contact us at: info@familyrootsforlife.org.
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. Contact us at: info@familyrootsforlife.org, or fill out the Volunteer Form below:
