Over the last decade, City Without Orphans has encouraged and equipped families to begin the foster care and adoption process here in the Central Valley. During these ten years of learning, growing, and listening to the stories of children and families, our organization acknowledges the foster/adoption journey doesn’t end at placement. Primary and secondary trauma can occur at various stages of the process, and our desire is to continue to be agents of healing for youth and families in this challenging system. Through this awareness, we have developed a series of programs through our new City of Support model with a primary focus of providing ongoing mental, social/emotional, and educational support for families, children, and young adults. Through City of Support, our hope is to foster a community of individuals who feel loved, connected, and equipped to tackle the difficulties of their unique circumstances.
