HELP FOR TODAY. HOPE FOR TOMORROW.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Families are the primary source of healing for hurting children. Whether you’re a foster or adoptive parent or want to support those who are, your role is vital to fostering hope and healing in the life of a child with difficult beginnings.​ However, we know that the path for you or your church to get involved can often seem unclear. And it can be even more difficult to find support for the journey of parenting a child with trauma. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is help and there is hope.

Partnerships for Children was founded in 2003 to bridge the gap between limited government resources and the growing needs of children and families in the care of Child Protective Services (CPS) through

• Providing necessity items

• Creating holiday memories

• Raising adoption awareness

• Easing transitions

• Mentoring through music

• Enhancing community

Nurturing Change works to fulfill this mission through three strategies:

• Provide trauma-informed care training to biological, kinship, foster and adoptive parents, and to the professionals who serve them

• Provide trauma-informed implementation support to parents and professionals

• Provide trauma-informed resources

Children need more than a system; they need a village. We do this through:

• Equipping caregivers with support

• Connecting families to each other

• Advocating for community beyond the system
