Program/Service Notes:
The Department of Children and Families becomes involved if there is any concern that a caretaker, a parent, stepparent, guardian or other person responsible for a child may be abusing or neglecting a child. Teachers, day care providers and babysitters and others outside the family may have strong concerns about a child's welfare.
-Adoption Program:
For information on the adoption program that is best, call 1-800-KIDS-508.
-Foster Care Program:
The Department of Children and Families Foster Care Program helps the children of families who have not been able to keep their youngsters safe from harm. Foster Care temporarily provides a substitute extended family during a time when neither parents nor other extended family members can meet a child's needs
-Domestic Violence:
Child abuse and domestic violence often occur together. The Department of Children and Families Domestic Violence Unit is a statewide initiative designed to enhance the Department's ability to protect children experiencing family violence. The best interests of children cannot be separated from the best interests of their mothers. That's why a team of Domestic Violence Specialists works side-by-side with Child Protection staff in area offices across the state. Information about the Domestic Violence Unit, call (617) 748-2333.
-Teen Program:
The adolescent services unit works with youth who are in our care. We stress positive development and offer youth an opportunity to take an active role in the types of services they receive. Teen participation and empowerment are priorities to us. Through our
many different services and programs, we offer support and understanding - as well as information and opportunities for growth. All kinds of programs and special events for youth are available. We also have lots of opportunities for peer support and leadership. For More Information, call the Teen Peer Hotline: 1-800-238-7868.
