Since 2004, CFR has been working to help families whose children are at risk of foster care or who are being investigated by ACS (Administration of Children's Services.)  Our Community Advocacy Teams (CAT) have two goals: first, to prevent foster care; and second, if a child must enter foster care, to help that child safely reunify with her family as soon as possible.  Our teams include an attorney, social worker and parent advocate (a parent who has personal experience with ACS and foster care) to help them. 

CFR also provides training to child welfare professionals on best practices for helping families avoid foster care or reunify safely.
