What We Do Foster Care Residential Homes FCF currently operates three group homes in the Central Florida area that provide foster children between the ages of 6-17, with a safe, nurturing home. Each home has full-time, live-in house parents who are responsible for ensuring that the children are exposed to a healthy family environment. Each home is also assigned a Case Manager who has the responsibility of helping the children develop daily living skills and a Therapist who meets with the children on a weekly basis to address their emotional needs.
Mentoring Program Friends of Children and Families’ Mentoring program is committed to turning “hurting into healing” for abused and neglected children in Central Florida. Children receive weekly contact with a mentor, who encourages them to discover their personal best. This support restores
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Assessments FCF provides Comprehensive Behavioral Health Assessments (CBHA) for children in the child welfare system. The completion of a CBHA helps to ensure that the social, emotional, and academic needs of a child in foster care are being addressed, and that the child is receiving appropriate services.
In-Home and School Counseling FCF provides In-Home and In-School Counseling for children and families in the community. Friends of Children and Families is a strong advocate of the “Systems of Care” approach with its emphasis on child, family and community involvement, early intervention and prevention methods, and use of evidence based interventions. We target issues such as negative behavior at home or school, poor school attendance, poor academic performance, or involvement in the Juvenile Justice System. Our goal is to help children and their families strengthen their social, emotional, or decision making skills.
