    Child Welfare

    The Phoenix Project

    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 Phoenix Project uses mentoring and evidence-based models to support survivors of human trafficking and young people at risk of trafficking as they work to attain stability and independence.

    Taking a survivor-centered approach that focuses on lived experience, the program works with children and young adults to address both the impact of trafficking and the risk factors that can lead to exploitation.

    Each Phoenix Project participant is assigned a mentor, who provides intensive case management under the Eisenhower Quantum Opportunities Program model. Depending on individual needs and goals, participants may also receive Cognitive Processing Therapy, a therapeutic model that leads trauma survivors to challenge unhealthy beliefs and move forward, and sex education though the Health Improvement Intervention for Teens (HIP Teens) model, a risk-reduction group intervention that specifically targets building healthy relationships and improving the health and psychosocial potential of participants around their own sexual health and decision-making. The program also offers wraparound supports, and participants will be connected to other Foundling services and other community-based systems for assistance attaining necessities and attaining life goals.

    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.
