About us

Everyday, thousands of Michigan’s children and families are left alone and vulnerable due to challenges beyond their control. Our 501(c)(3) organization uses a trauma-focused lens to help children, adolescents, adults, and families thrive by providing tools and resources to undo the damage from society’s toughest situations. We offer a variety of programs, such as Third Level Services, YouthWork, Safe Haven, and Wraparound to help children and families heal, grow, and realize their true potential, regardless of the setback. CFS offers foster care, adoption, behavioral health, foster home licensing, and crisis respite programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), assuring our stakeholders of our commitment to excellence in our clinical and administrative practices.
