First Annual Luggage Drive in OKC
We need your spare Baggage! New and Gently used!
When a child in DHS custody moves from home to home, their belongings are all too often placed in large trash bags due to the children not owning suitcases. Can you imagine all of your favorite possessions; your special teddy bear, the outfit that your grandma got you, your toothbrush being transported like garbage? Please help to make a difference in the life of a child in your community. Donate luggage today.
Contact your local office for donation drop-off information.
A place for every child ...
Of the three million emotionally disturbed children in this country, two-thirds do not receive the services they need, and countless others receive inappropriate care. Research has indicated the need for comprehensive, community-based, family-focused systems of care for troubled children and youths.
Multi-dimensional Treatment Foster Care is a research-oriented program. Free time is supervised and peer relationships are closely monitored at home and at school. The family environment fosters positive relationship building at home. Treatment families create learning opportunities in developing interpersonal and behavioral skills that will help the child adapt in society.
The development of such a system is now becoming a national goal. The need for parents to care for these children is the key to accomplishing this goal.
