Our Programs
Family Reunification (Reintegration)
We want to see more kids reunified with their families and leave the orphanages where they temporarily reside whenever it's in the child's best interest.
That's why we support the Honduran child welfare office with logistical efforts in visiting and evaluating biological family members who have made an effort to request custody of the child or children.
When those biological family members have been identified as an emotionally safe option for the child or children to return home to, but they are in need of practical support to make the reunification possible, the Embraced International team returns to the family for a second evaluation and an empowerment plan is developed that outlines the plan of support, with the goal of strengthened family base and a possible reunification.
We bring practical support, coaching, and individualized services to families to provide stability. Additionally, we will provide much-needed follow-up support to help with the transition once a child has been reintegrated. We give financial assistance, professional support, community involvement, and more to ensure that the child and the family are thriving after the transition.
How Does Family Reunification (Reintegration) Work?
Family Preservation
We identify families who are living in such extreme poverty that they are at risk of losing custody of their children. These are often families who want to care for their children, but they are fighting against the effects of poverty that make caring for their kids much more challenging.
Our family preservation program provides support for these families, meeting emergency needs such as providing food, housing, covering costs of education, and more.
After meeting immediate emergency needs, a long-term individualized plan to meet the family's needs is created. This plan may consist of job training, professional counseling, and a long-term financial plan to help them succeed and to prevent family separation from ever happening.
