Referral Process

When you refer a child/children to Families United Network, Inc. we will efficiently gather the information necessary to identify the best possible placement. A staff member will be available to take your call during regular office hours, and an on-call staff member can take your call after hours.

Before a child is accepted into care, three basic criteria must be met.

• The child must voluntarily accept foster care placement
• The child must not be a threat to themselves or others
• The child may not have a history of fire setting

Children placed in a Family-Based Treatment Home with Families United Network, Inc. will receive full case management services, including:

• Weekly in-person contact during first 30 days of placement
• Bi-monthly face-to-face contact beyond 30 days
• Weekly phone contact, with children and families
• Quarterly progress reports (monthly in some counties)
• Semi-annual Individual Service Plans
• Legal family involvement
• Liaison with county, school and community resources
