Every child and family deserves the opportunity to grow, heal, and build on their strengths. That's what SAFY's 2026 Annual Giving Campaign, Growing Possibility, is all about.

When you give to SAFY, you help create more of those opportunities. More support. More connection. More possibility for the youth and families we serve together.

SAFY of Cleveland wants to give a HUGE 🎉 THANK YOU 🎉 to the Cleveland Browns and their mascot, Chomps, for making a special appearance at our Trunk or Treat on October 23! 🏈🧡🤎

For many children in foster care, the goal is a safe and lasting reunification with their family. Coordinated support across behavioral health, family preservation, and community services can help families build stability at each stage of reunification.

When families have access to consistent, coordinated support, children are more likely to experience stability and parents are better positioned to make lasting progress.

When a youth enters foster care, every member of the family experiences change. Each navigates that transition differently and benefits from support tailored to their specific needs.

Behavioral health services, family therapy, and community-based resources can help children feel more secure and support parents as they work toward reunification.

On Wednesday, SAFY of Ohio and SAFY of Kentucky's recruitment teams met at the Cincinnati office for a day of training and collaboration! They discussed the growing need for foster parents across both states as well as strategies to engage with prospective and current foster families to make sure that they felt seen and supported.

At SAFY, we believe collaboration is integral to our mission of supporting families. We are always working hard to ensure that families are provided with the extra care they need as they navigate their fostering journey.

Thank you to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for donating 686 Duffel Bags of Dignity this weekend as part of Foster the Future: From Here to Hope.

Thank you again for this partnership and for your commitment to youth and families in our communities.

Family preservation services are structured supports designed to address challenges early and help families build a safer, more stable home environment.

SAFY professionals work collaboratively with families to identify goals and develop strategies they can continue using after services end.
