The Advocacy Program serves to strengthen unheard and overlooked voices within our community.
Fostering Futures
Fostering Futures comes around foster children, foster families, and young adults transitioning out of foster care in our community.
The Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex has a real but often hidden issue: at-risk children living in unsafe homes. Many of us are unaware of their presence and the need for foster families to provide loving homes for these children. Our Advocacy efforts focus on:
Community needs surrounding foster care.
Respite nights for foster families.
Creating activities for foster families to participate in.
Information Sessions on becoming foster parents.
Life skills for those aging out of foster care.
Foster Care Team
The Foster Care Team supports current foster/adopt families.
Services we offer.
Support groups.
Connection nights.
Respite nights.
Are you fostering or have expanded your family through adoption? We want to hear from you! Email Jennifer Creech at jcreech@localgoodcenter.org.
Mental Health: Early Recognition Program
Our Mental Health: Early Recognition program looks to bring awareness and education around early indicators of potential mental health needs.
We are not all called to be professionals in the mental health field. However, some basic training and education about early indicators can help us become true advocates for those who may be silently suffering.
This program, in collaboration with Lifeologie Counseling of Plano, looks to help our community via workshops and trainings in assessing and de-escalating mental health situations.
