Family Programs FAMILY TO FAMILY Our Family to Family Program assists families involved with the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services who are in need of resources, advocacy, and support. The program offers support groups for relative, foster, and adoptive caregivers, hosts reunification visits for relative or biological family members, as well as offers services for youth aging out of foster care. Staff provide a family-friendly environment to all participants and encourage independence and personal growth. Additionally, the Family to Family Program manages University Settlement's Baby Box distribution which gives new baby starter kits that double as safe sleep spaces for infants to new or expecting parents. The program has expanded to provide services to Southwest Cleveland as well.
