OUR PROGRAMS

Foster Care

In 2019 there were 14,142 children in the Arizona foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster care is a temporary situation where you care for a child by providing them with a safe place, they can call home and be an advocate for them.

Adoption

Sometimes parents are not able to provide a safe environment for their children. Adoption is the legal process of becoming the parent and assuming all responsibilities for a child, providing them with a safe and loving home.

Training

The state requires all foster and adoptive parents to complete a streamlined pre-training program which consists of 11 online courses and 15 hours of in-class instruction. HCS provides this training in both English and Spanish.

Family Visitation

This program assists with family reunification and it consists of the arrangement of visitation between children in out of home placements and their parents and/or siblings and supervising the interactions to protect the child(ren).

Parent Aide

This program consists of supervised visits as well as additional time providing the parents with instruction and resources to help improve their parenting skills needed to maintain a safe home and environment long term.
