Safe Families for Children (SFFC) of Metro Atlanta is committed to protecting children and preserving families by surrounding them with a caring, compassionate community. When a crisis hits a home, many in our communities have no one to call or support them in such situations. That is why we exist.

Safe Families helps keep children safe and out of the foster care system while supporting parents with resources and services to resolve the crisis. We provide an innovative, evidence-based approach that supports parents by connecting them to a caring network of relationships and resources before child welfare involvement becomes necessary.

At Safe Families for Children, we recognize that facing life alone as a parent is hard. That is why we connect parents with locally vetted volunteers who walk alongside them, offering a network of relationships and resources.

Safe Families helps build resilient families by wrapping practical support and relational community around parents to help strengthen and secure the home environment. Safe Families doesn’t try to help solve all of a family’s problems. However, by befriending and supporting families, we can help reduce isolation and equip parents to problem-solve how to manage life’s challenges, so that they never face them alone.

All of us can play a role in building resilient families.
