At Safe Families for Children, we believe that when parents are supported by a caring, compassionate community, hope grows, burdens become lighter, and families are strengthened.

When ordinary people say "YES" to extraordinary acts of love, we're reminded of the beautiful opportunity we all have to make a difference!

Prevention is widely recognized as an effective, efficient, and economically sound approach because it stops complications before they start, maximizes limited resources, and delivers a massive return on investment.

Preventing child abuse and neglect means meeting parents exactly where they are while also putting the health and safety of children first. Prevention makes keeping children and families together—safely—the top priority in any child welfare system.

There is a common misconception that child welfare intervention is primarily about the most extreme and heartbreaking cases that make headlines. Those cases do require immediate action. But the reality is that many families who come to the attention of child welfare—and drive up unmanageable caseload numbers—are facing challenges that could have been addressed much earlier with the right supports in place: a parent overwhelmed by circumstances, a family without stable housing or child care, a medical emergency, or a caregiver without anyone to call for help.

But we have also witnessed the opposite: when families receive timely support—safe child care during moments of crisis, access to basic necessities, connection to resources, and ongoing community-based support—the outcome changes drastically. Families stabilize. Parents gain confidence and tools. Children remain safely connected to the people who love them, and the child welfare system has no reason to get involved.

This is why we exist. Children Safe. Families Together.

Family preservation refers to the ways we can keep families together and help them thrive.

By offering family‑focused prevention for parents facing crisis, the goal is simple and powerful: strengthen parenting, stabilize family functioning, keep children safely at home, and prevent unnecessary involvement in foster care.

Many families, even when doing ‘all the right things,’ are just one crisis away from major instability in their lives. Under-resourced communities leave families in the throes of hospitalization, unemployment, incarceration, substance abuse recovery, and other crises related to poverty without the resources and support to care for their children.

Every day, families wake up to a crisis they cannot handle, and their ability to both weather the storm and protect their children is threatened. Safe Families for Children (SFFC) was founded to solve this problem. We want to be that extended family when parents need us the most!

✨Chloe’s story is a beautiful example of how coming alongside a family with the love of Christ can create lasting change—and how that same love can inspire someone who was once supported to step forward and serve others✨

My name is Chloe. I have a son named Jakobi, who is turning six this September and is starting kindergarten. In December of 2023, I was at the lowest point in my life. I was struggling with addiction and sin, was on the verge of losing my apartment, had lost my job, and felt so far from God. I reached out to my church for help, and they connected me with Safe Families. Not only was I scared, but I assumed they would give up on me after not too long. Instead, they came beside me, helped get me into treatment, and continued to build a bond with me. They supported me while I was in treatment through phone calls and even visits.

When I left treatment, they helped me make goals, hung out with me while I was finding a job to keep me out of trouble, and held me accountable daily. I am now about to celebrate three years sober, which is the longest I’ve ever had. In the past three years, I have obtained a job, been promoted to management, and am now buying my first house this month.

I aspire to help others the same way by showing the love of Christ and being a volunteer for Safe Families. Thank You, Jesus, for Your forgiveness, grace, and mercy. Thanks to Safe Families and their love for Jesus, I can live my life for Christ and be a light for others while continuing a healthy lifestyle.

This is how Safe Families helped me and why I choose to volunteer.

At Safe Families, we believe relationships are key in supporting families facing crisis. While resources are vital for families navigating difficult circumstances, it is also important for families to know they are not alone!

Walking alongside families means providing both a network of resources and relationships that give isolated parents hope, connection, and belonging. To find out more about supporting families, check out our website at https://bit.ly/4rlD8M2 to learn more!

God is stirring His people to care for vulnerable children and isolated families. And YOU are part of this great mission! Together we long to see the Body of Christ working together so family is alone and living without the support they need for their children to thrive!🌱
