At this year’s Child and Family Charities Igniting Hope Fundraising Breakfast, we told three stories from three different programs, Behavioral Health, Gateway Youth Services and Child Welfare. We follow the stories of Lisa, Raquell and Cynthia as they sought out the help of these services and how they were positively impacted.

Michigan needs to invest existing federal resources in the most effective and innovative way possible. Protect MiFamily is designed to do just that by strengthening families and improving the lives of vulnerable children, with the aim of keeping families together.
The children involved in this project will be from birth to 5 years old and determined by Children’s Protective Services to be at high or intensive risk for future maltreatment. Families served also must live in one of the three pilot counties, where private agencies Lutheran Social Services of Michigan and Catholic Charities of West Michigan will partner with DHS in the new program. All three counties chosen have a higher than typical rate of children in that youngest age group being removed from their homes and placed into foster care.

The worker teams are available to the families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The staff provides a therapeutic/skill-based intervention regimen to all family members
