Akin Children’s Home Society of Washington and Childhaven have merged to form a new organization, Akin. Learn more: www.akinfamily.org

While our name is changing, what remains constant is our commitment to families, caregivers, parents and children. At Children’s Home Society of Washington, we aim to offer holistic support and reach our families before they are in crisis, to identify their unique needs and set them up with resources and prevention services to manage life’s challenges at a time when additional support is needed most. Our four core service areas include:

• Early learning: ensuring children have the strongest possible foundation to thrive during a critical period of their development
• Parent & family education: equipping parents with the resources to support their children through every stage, milestone, and challenge
• Behavioral health & counseling: giving parents and children the tools to address behavioral health
challenges, building on each family’s strengths
• Family reunification: offering mentorship and support for parents whose children are temporarily in foster care, so they can move toward nurturing strong, life-long families

This is just a snapshot of the support we provide to families in need. Through the pandemic, we have been nimble in our approach to continue offering support in a virtual capacity, knowing additional resources and care can make the critical difference between “I’m in crisis” and “I am going to be OK.” Because when we start with family, we all succeed. If you are in need of support – reach out. You can help us continue our important work in serving families in Washington state today with a gift. www.childrenshomesociety.org/donate.

Merry worked with Akin's Early Head Start program to set goals for herself and her family. With the guidance of SMART goal-setting, personal perseverance and dedication, Merry completed all her goals, including the completion of her nursing degree at UW! She later joined Akin as a team-member and offered personal experience and perspective to other families.

The first year of our Bundles of Love event series is complete!

Bundles of Love allowed us to introduce or re-introduce ourselves in three main communities we serve across Washington state.

Partnering with Fred Meyer, we enjoyed connecting with families over three weekends to provide essential support in the form of tote bags filled with free diapers, baby supplies and information about Akin.

Families left with material goods and a warm invitation back to any of our Family Resource Centers around the state to restock essentials, meet with family navigators and explore all the ways Akin can partner with families for lasting well-being.

Over six days:

158,000+ diapers distributed
1,780+ families served
1,800+ meaningful conversations

This is just the beginning. If you missed Bundles of Love, come visit us at an Akin Family Resource Center near you and meet with our team!
