Who We Are

After seeing a gap in the foster care system due to limited resources, we made it our purpose to offer children in the Pennsylvania child welfare system a happy, safe, and healthy home. For over 20 years, Family Care for Children & Youth, Inc. has worked to provide children in need of loving homes where they feel they belong.

We understand that every child and family has unique needs and circumstances. Our experienced case management team respects the diversity of each client and is dedicated to providing the children, youth, and families we serve with a personalized approach, which is tailored to the specific needs of each case.

Family Care for Children & Youth, Inc. is passionate about being a positive force in Pennsylvania communities across the state. We have found success in helping our children, youth and families with our approach that emphasizes Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care. The strategy allows us to understand human behaviors, reactions, and personalities on a completely new level to help meet the individual needs of each case. Both theories emphasize that people choose their behaviors and therefore have the ability to change them. Choice Theory provides a non-judgmental framework for understanding a person’s situation, focusing on their perspective, behaviors, and motivations rather than assigning blame. Reality Therapy, based on Choice Theory, then uses this understanding to develop practical and action-based plans to address the issues a person is facing. Reality Therapy helps individuals identify their desired outcomes, assess their current behaviors, evaluate if those behaviors are effective, and create a plan for change.

Each of our Permanency Case Managers have bachelor’s degrees or graduate degrees and receive thorough training to best serve our children, youth, and families. We are dedicated professionals who want to make a difference.

Our Foster Families Say It All

See what some of our foster families have to say below

We would recommend FCCY

Picking FCCY to work with has been the best thing my husband and I could have done. We have had only positive experiences with this agency. The case managers are so good and give you total support as a foster parent. We would recommend FCCY to others looking into foster care.

They care about the children and are very thorough

My husband and I always tell people that talk to us about wanting to foster or adopt about our agency. We enjoy working with this agency because the staff not only care about the careful placement of a child but also about us as a family. Our agency is available and quick to respond to us whether we have an emergency or just a question. They care about the children and are very thorough to ensure the children and the foster family are getting what they need.

We Enjoy Giving Back

Fostering is very positive experience not only for ourselves but also for the child’s well-being. We enjoy giving back. Providing a loving, nurturing home to a child gives the child an opportunity to have a normal childhood as possible.
