CLEARWATER, Fla. - July 22, 2022 - PRLog -- Family Initiative, a Florida-based nonprofit organization, has partnered with Family Support Service in Pasco and Pinellas counties to provide support to out-of-home caregivers to benefit children in the child welfare system.

Family Initiative's Family Impact Program supports caregivers in raising children from difficult circumstances and includes caregiver education and in-home support. The education forums aid caregivers who may be experiencing behavioral concerns in the home or may simply need tools to strengthen their parenting techniques. The in-home services allow Family Initiative's clinicians to work with caregivers to assess the family's needs and create individualized treatment plans.

"Family Initiative is honored to be working alongside Family Support Services to increase the support for out-of-home caregivers and enhance the lives of children within the system of care in Florida," says Leigh Ann Drew, child welfare director of Family Initiative. "We are proud to be expanding our services as we continue to spread the knowledge of Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) throughout the state."

Family Support Services is a community-based child welfare agency in Duval, Nassau, Pasco and Pinellas counties, that's primary goal is to assist families to provide safe, healthy and loving environments and prevent children from coming into the system of care. The organization focuses on unifying families, keeping children connected to their relatives and providing quality foster parents.

"We are excited to be partnering with Family Initiative Inc. to provide a solid foundation and natural resources for our caregivers and our staff," says Fawn Moore, chief innovation officer of Family Support Services. "Quality caregivers are critical to building this foundation in both Pasco and Pinellas counties, and we are currently recruiting families to provide temporary care for many school-age children residing in a residential setting. With the support of community families and agencies such as Family Initiative, Family Support Services can improve lives when crucial time matters."
