Ways We Help
Empowering Foster Youth to Thrive
At Jennifer’s Family Homes, we give children, teens, and young adults in foster care a safe place to grow — and the tools they need to build a strong future. Through structured routines, trauma-informed support, and individualized guidance, we help each young person develop healthy skills, emotional stability, and the confidence to reach independence.
​
Our mission is to have programs focused on life skills development, mental health support, counseling, education, and a gradual transition into adulthood. Each service below includes an overview, with a link to learn more.
