Shelter
Every child deserves a safe place to call home. With children being placed in foster care at an alarming rate, many are displaced not only from their families but also from their entire communities. Carter Cares provides safe, local shelter to help children stay connected to familiar surroundings and reduce the trauma of separation.
Connections
Strong community connections are vital to a child’s healing and growth. Carter Cares partners with local mental health professionals, medical providers, schools, and community organizations to maintain and create supportive networks. These efforts promote reunification and ensure the best interests of the children are always prioritized.
Wellness
If a child is in foster care, they are experiencing some form of trauma. Carter Cares places emphasis on the overall wellness of each child. This plan includes individual and group therapy, current medicals, educational support, facilitating productive social interactions, assessing skills and interests, instilling Independent living skills, and nurturing productive individuals.
