Building Stronger Families

Better Living Foster Care and Family Services provides foster care, prevention, and the support families need to be whole and complete.

Guiding families Through The Child Welfare System:

Better Living helps families navigate DHHS requirements including supervised visits and getting access to the resources needed to reunite families.

We help parents grow the skills they need to lead and provide for their families so they no longer need the intervention of the child welfare system.

Better Living helps families break the ongoing or generational cycles of addiction and mental health issues that can impact family wellbeing.

Better Living connects families to the skills, resources, and support they need to get out of the child welfare system.

For over 30 years, we’ve been helping families break the cycles that threaten to tear them apart.

“I'm grateful beyond measure that these workers never judged, but always supported, never scolded, but re-directed. Lucky are the families whose life they touch.”

“I feel listened to and understood as well as involved. My worker showed a lot of patience with my rocky recovery, for which I’m grateful. She showed me a lot of outside views on different ways to handle stressful situations within parenting.”
