Becoming a Partner Agency
EveryChild is interested in partnering
with agencies who share our mission and approach to
developing quality support to help children with
developmental disabilities to grow up in families.
Our partners demonstrate commitment to
the following ideals:
-
With the right support, every child
can live with a family.
-
For a child who is living in a
residential care facility, movement to a family home
requires careful planning and a period of transition
that takes as long as necessary to assure a family
is prepared and supported to provide a safe and
nurturing home on a long term basis.
-
Return to the birth family home is
the first priority to be explored for a child to be
able to leave facility care.
-
For children whose birth families
are unable to resume care, another family can be
recruited and prepared to be able to care for the
child and to support the birth family’s
relationship.
-
Assuring a long term home for a
child begins with finding the right match between a
child and their birth family and a recruited family.
If your organization shares these
beliefs and is interested in joining us to help create
family options for children living in residential
facilities, we would invite you to contact us. Please
call Nancy Rosenau, Executive Director, at 512-342-8846.
By working together, we can channel our
mutual energy to assist families and children with
developmental disabilities. Please consider joining us.
| Family-Based Alternatives
Database
EveryChild, Inc. has developed a "matching"
database application to support the Family-Based
Alternatives Project. This application is used
by EveryChild staff and established Partner
Agencies to collect pertinent information on
both children and potential support families.
This information is then used to facilitate the
process of finding the right family for a given
child. The database is password protected and
includes measures to protect confidentiality.
The Family-Based Alternatives Database is a
powerful tool in EveryChild's ongoing efforts to
create new opportunities for children with
disabilities in Texas to find care within a
family setting.
