Description

Ideally, at-risk children should remain with their actual families whenever possible. Although foster care services offered by the state of Virginia make every effort to keep them together, it is not always possible. Once it is determimed that a child must leave the family unit and go into foster care, a host of other services becomes available to them, which are designed to promote child safety and well-being within a nurturing, family environment. Services offered include: placement services * teaching independent living skills * physical or mental health treatment * mentoring * and, opportunities for a permanent living situation.
