resource families

Resource families are certified individuals or couples who provide temporary or long-term care for children unable to live with their birth families. They offer a safe, nurturing environment, supporting the child's emotional and developmental needs. Resource families may care for children due to family separation, neglect, or abuse, and often work closely with social services to ensure the child's well-being. They serve as a vital support system, helping children heal and thrive while permanent solutions like reunification, guardianship, or adoption are explored.
