Benchmark Family Services, Inc. services children who have been removed from their homes by the Department of Children’s Services (DCS) due to neglect, physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse suffered in their biological home.

Additionally, some children are under the care of a psychiatrist and receive medications to manage their mental health needs. Benchmark provides strong and consistent support to our foster care families. We provide:
Each foster care family with weekly contact with their case manager, including a minimum of two home visits per month
24 hour/7 day a week emergency cell phone access to a case manager in the event of a crisis
Respite care for foster children when needed
Premium financial compensation to support the needs of youth placed in the home

💙 It takes a community, and we’re so thankful to be part of ours! 💙

One of our favorite things about working in foster care is seeing the way our community shows up for children and families. 🫶

A huge thank-you to the local businesses who have welcomed us into their establishments and allowed us to share our foster care flyers with their customers! Every flyer helps spread awareness, start conversations, and hopefully connect us with someone who could make a life-changing difference for a child.

We know everyone can’t become a foster parent, but everyone can play a part in supporting children and families in our community. Whether it’s displaying a flyer, sharing a post, or simply helping spread the word, your support matters more than you know. 💙

📣 Help us show these amazing local businesses some love! Check out the businesses tagged below and give them a little extra appreciation for supporting children in foster care.

And if your business would like to help us spread the word, we’d love to connect with you!

Because when a community comes together, amazing things can happen. 💙

We have fun things going on this October! Join us on 10/20 from 5:30 - 7:30 for snacks and good conversation! All are we...

WHAT?! Ed Sheeran?!?

WHAT?! Ed Sheeran?!?

We were just Thinking Out Loud and thought it would be a lovely gesture to invite the Indiana Kids Belong community out to see Ed Sheeran Sing on Saturday, October 10th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

If you are an Indiana Foster Family who would enjoy attending the concert, go to your Foster Friendly App Account and follow the link to RSVP to request tickets. Act quickly! Inventory is limited and the sign-up portal will close once all tickets are claimed. Please note, the show website says show time is 5:30pm but that is scheduled to change, most likely to 7:00pm.

It will be a Perfect night!

You used to spend your paycheck on concert tickets and questionable decisions.

Now you spend it on throw pillows, groceries, and things you swear will “make the house feel more put together.”

People change.

Maybe it’s time to consider making room for one more. ❤️

Rough Play or Bullying?
It’s not always easy to tell the difference — but it matters.

Join our psychologists as they clarify the distinctions between playful rough and tumble play and bullying behaviours.

Whether you’re a teacher, residential worker, or foster carer, understanding the signs can help keep children safe while still letting them explore healthy play.
