General Info:

In 2007 Childkind began offering Family Support Services to its foster families after they had adopted the child in their home. It was a means to continue serving the family and to help support permanency. The program provides assistance accessing Medicaid waiver services, grants for equipment or minor home accessibility modifications, emergency medical supplies, coordination of school-based, community and other neighborhood programs and supports. In an effort to reduce the number of medically fragile and developmentally disabled children entering foster care, Childkind began offering its Transition Support Services Program in December 2008. This program provides placement prevention and early intervention services, targeting families that are having trouble parenting children with medical or developmental challenges, families being reunited with their children after a period of out-of-home care or hospitalization, and families in crises as the result of a major life changing event. Today, Childkind's three program initiatives ' Family Support Services, Transition Support Services, and Placement Services ' form a continuum of care that aim towards a common goal: that children with medical and developmental disabilities live with their own families in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment.
