Having served as a foster parent for 28 years, I’ve had the best experience with Helix Human Services’ foster care program. I feel completely supported, not only by my case worker but by the entire team. If I have concerns, they are always heard and addressed.
Comprehensive Foster Care (CFC) is a unique program for foster families to provide a home to one or two higher need children and/or adolescents. We provide significant foster parent training and support and a high level of supervision, advocacy, and wraparound services. More
