Welcome to the
Monterey County Family to Family (F2F) Website. F2F is a
family-centered, neighborhood-based approach with the primary goal
of improving the lives of children and families. Through F2F, we are
joining hands with Monterey County neighborhoods to create local
environments supporting families involved in the child welfare
system. We’ve come to the realization that we can’t do it alone and
it makes a lot of sense to share the responsibility of caring for
the community’s children with the community. |
|
Our goal is to: |
• Develop
culturally sensitive family foster care networks in the
communities where the children live.
• Meet the
needs of more children in relative or family foster care rather
than in institutional care.
• Recruit
enough qualified and nurturing foster families to meet the
needs.
• Reunite
families as soon as it is safe, not on the basis of the system’s
timeframes.
• Better assess
children for services that would allow them to safely remain
home.

start is by attending one of the Information Meetings held in
Monterey County. These meetings are regularly offered in Salinas,
South County and Peninsula locations. There is no obligation in
