Part 5/10:
Safe Families operates on a compassionate, relationship-centered model. The organization recruits volunteers who are willing to open their homes and their hearts, providing temporary care for children whose parents are in crisis. This approach prevents unnecessary separation and allows families to regain stability in a nurturing environment.
The organization emphasizes that most parents involved in the system are capable and loving—they simply need support, not punishment. By fostering relationships that extend beyond a temporary crisis, Safe Families aims to create lasting community bonds that help parents regain their footing.
