A Stronger Framework for Families: Foster Village + Stand Up Eight
As we’ve mentioned in previous news, we’re proud to announce that a long-time partner organization, Stand Up Eight, is the newest part of Foster Village, Inc. and our nationwide affiliates.
Children with trauma history can heal from the effects of abuse and neglect, but they need specialized parenting and treatment. That’s why we’re infusing Stand Up Eight’s unique framework into Foster Village’s growing programs that serve thousands of families in need of support, providing them with the tools we’ve created and enriched to assist them from placement to permanency.
Foster Village and Stand Up Eight combined their holistic services to meet the needs every child and family has — to belong, to attach, and to feel safe.
Here's how Stand Up Eight has combined with Foster Village to create a stronger framework for families.
