FCI exists to promote the health and well-being of families. 

Typically, the response to children with difficult behaviors or mental illness is to focus services on the individual child struggling; however, we believe children and youth heal in the context of a family. For families to be healing environments where children and youth can thrive, the family must first be whole emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Foster Care Initiatives’ Birth Parent Program is an intervention program that uses innovative trainings and support resources that focus on wrapping around the the entire family. 

Birth Parent Program

Our advocates journey step-by-step with biological families whose children have been removed by child protective services. If you have experienced child welfare involvement, we know it can be a very frightening time. Our advocates offer support, advocacy, tools, connection to resources, community support, and parenting classes and believe that even the darkest situations can experience healing and hope.
