Helping children and families live successfully
Welcoming a new sibling into the family
Welcoming a new child into the family is an adjustment for parents and siblings. This transition is difficult for children welcoming a sibling for the first time, who are used to having a lot of individualized attention.
LifeSet helps Rory take the next steps towards higher education
At 18, many young adults rely on parents and friends for guidance, stability and a safety net when life becomes difficult. For thousands of teens leaving foster care, that support is absent.
Alexis finds her voice with LifeSet and Scholars
For most of her life, Alexis has navigated challenges far beyond what many young people face. Entering foster care at just 12 years old, she moved through multiple homes, three different high schools and a constant cycle of change. Stability was rare.
