Children who have experienced family transitions, trauma, foster care involvement, guardianship, adoption, or kinship care often benefit from additional support. Foster Kinship's Direct Support for Children programs help young people build confidence, connection, and resilience through developmentally appropriate services and activities.

Children deserve opportunities to learn, grow, heal, and build meaningful connections. Our Direct Support for Children programs provide safe and supportive environments where children can develop social, emotional, and life skills.
Programs may include support groups, educational activities, youth engagement opportunities, nurturing environments, and trauma-informed interventions.
Children and youth receive opportunities to:
Caregivers benefit from knowing their children are participating in supportive programs designed to promote healthy development and long-term well-being.
When children are supported, families are strengthened. Direct Support for Children is one part of Foster Kinship's commitment to helping children and families thrive across the full non-parental care continuum.
