At Embrace Families we believe all kids deserve to grow up in safe, stable and loving homes. As a national leader in child welfare services, we begin by helping Central Florida families overcome the root causes of abuse and neglect through programs that offer case management and other prevention services that keep families together and build a stronger community. When a child can’t remain safely in their home, we partner with local agencies to support them through foster care, adoption, mentoring and beyond to ensure that children in bad situations move toward brighter futures.
