Child Welfare

Improving Family Systems

Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) Families Are Stronger Together (FAST) Family Services for Deaf Children and Adults Foster Care Healthy Families Improving Family Systems LifeSet Mother and Child Program Partners for Change The Phoenix Project Staten Island Community Partnership Strengthening Our Families Strengthening, Teaching, and Educating People through Support (STEP-S) Youth on the Rise

The Foundling’s Improving Family Systems program targets young people between the ages of 6-18, and utilizes Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), a service model used to improve family interactions, reduce risk factors, and strengthen protective factors against drug use and other conduct problems.

Children and teenagers who are involved with the child welfare system are at high risk, not only for foster placement, but also for a range of behavioral health issues including substance abuse. Appropriately supporting these young people demands a holistic approach that includes all members of the family.

Success Stories

Nina, Grace, and Logan are a Family

When Nina opened her home as a foster parent to two siblings, she committed to making them feel safe, secure, and loved. The Foundling provided guidance, intensive therapy services, and more to support her and the children as they healed from past trauma and adjusted to a new environment.

Thanks to The Foundling's support, Nina, Grace, and Logan are now a thriving family – and with adoption paperwork finalized last year, they will have each other for a lifetime.  “They’re biological siblings, and it’s amazing that they get to be together – I think they feel blessed, and I also feel blessed,” says Nina.
