Family Support Partner
Support from Someone Who Understands
It is hard to know who to trust when you are going through a difficult time with your family. Our Family Support Partners are here to help. They are "peer specialists," which means they have personal experience dealing with the child welfare system themselves. Because they have been in your shoes, they understand what you are going through better than anyone else.
How They Help
Your Support Partner is like a lifeline. They can help you:
Understand the system: They explain how everything works so you don’t feel lost.
Find resources: They connect you with the tools and services your family needs.
Offer emotional support: They are there to listen and talk when things get tough.
Work toward reunification: They support you as you work to bring your family back together.
Who Is This For?
This program is for any parent currently involved with the child welfare system or Family Treatment Court.
Why It Works
Dealing with the "Children’s Division" or the foster care system can feel overwhelming, especially if it is your first time. Our Partners have "walked many miles in those same shoes." They have had their own children in state care in the past, so they can offer real compassion and guidance.
They aren't just there to check boxes—they are there to help your family grow, stay strong, and thrive.
