Work closely with child protective services, law enforcement agencies, and families to identify supportive relatives or trusted family friends ensuring safe placements.
Safe homes with familiar faces.
When a child cannot remain safely at home, the most comfortable palace for them to be is often with someone they already know and trust.
What We Do
Identify Safe Placements
Guide Caregiver Through the Process
Help relatives successfully navigate complex legal requirements, practical logistics, and community resources when stepping in to provide safe child care.
Provide Support & Resources
Connect caregivers to community services, financial support, emotional resources, and strong peer networks to ensure stability, resilience, and overall well-being.
Coordinate with Advocacy Center Teams
Ensure all child placements are fully supported by the Childhelp network, including medical, forensic, therapeutic, and critical supportive services when needed.
Who We Serve
Relative Care Services are for:
- Children who cannot remain in their primary home due to abuse, neglect, or unsafe conditions
- Extended family members or trusted friends willing to provide a temporary or permanent home
- Professionals seeking safe, supportive placements for children in crisis
Why Relative Care Matters
Moving a child to a safe home is critical — but keeping them connected to their community, culture, and relationships can make all the difference in their recovery. Staying with familiar faces helps:
Reduce the Trauma of Separation
Maintain Emotional Stability
Preserve A Child’s Sense Of Identity
Strengthen A Child’s Sense Of Belonging
