ALONE AND AT RISK
Shereen was facing an impossible decision: let her daughter go into foster care or forgo needed medical treatment.
Every day, parents – just like Shereen – face similarly impossible situations. They are walking through crises such as addiction recovery, jail time, homelessness, or mental health crises, and they lack a safe support system.
When a crisis occurs without support, children may be placed in foster care simply because there is nowhere else for them to go, or parents may trust a family member or friend who is unsafe, which can lead to the child being harmed.
At Together for Good, we provide an alternative option: a safe place for their child to stay without the parent losing custody.
Through TFG, parents have an option that reduces the trauma of family separation while ultimately ensuring that children are safe.
Watch how, through a Together for Good host family, Shereen and her daughter, Divine, were kept together.
The crises TFG parents are experiencing
When families call us, they may be facing a singular crisis or a compound of stressors, but underlying every emergency is the lack of a safe support system.
Often, families are facing one or more of the following:
Addiction treatment
Brevement
Domestic violence
Exhaustion
Homelessness
Incarceration
Job loss
Medical emergency
Mental health crisis
Sex trafficking
Social isolation
