My husband and I did foster care to provide a safe home for children — but it didn't seem like enough. I ventured to the other side of the fence to help parents make changes so they never have to be in this situation again.

Many parents who enter our services have only one tool — if any — in their toolbox. Our goal is that by the time they leave GLFS, they've built a full set of tools they can rely on moving forward.

Most families involved in services truly love their kids — what they need is support, not judgment.

I'm living proof that these services can truly change lives. My own family received Family Support services when I was growing up — and that experience changed the direction of my family for generations.
