Part of the Community Based Care (CBC) project for Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties, the Safe Children Coalition of DeSoto County is a collaboration between the Sarasota Family YMCA and many local community entities who together provide a continuum of child welfare services for dependent children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Direct services provided include: case management for foster care and protective services; independent living services for young adults aging out of foster care; foster home licensing/ placement; and adoptions. The Safe Children Coalition is comprised of subcontracted agencies that oversee and manage case management, prevention-diversion and medical case management services. In addition, there are many other community collaborations, stakeholders and providers who together help foster hope for dependent children in DeSoto County.
When you open your heart and home to foster or adopt a child, you open the possibilities for them - you foster hope. There is a critical need for foster parents who can provide a safe, stable, nurturing home for the hundreds of children in foster care. Homes are needed for sibling groups, teens, infants/toddlers and children with special needs. For more information on becoming a foster or adoptive parent, please call our toll-free
recruitment line at 1-866-661-5656.
Many community-based groups, stakeholders and non-profit organizations provide direct support for the Safe Children Coalition of DeSoto County.
