Empowering Families, Strengthening Bonds

High-Fidelity Wraparound Services for California Adoptive Families

Welcome to Haven Adoptive Family Services

A Parent Cooperative Community Organization

When you welcomed your little one into your home, did anyone hand you an instruction manual on how to be the perfect parent? Of course not! We know. We’ve been there.

At Haven, we are here to provide tailored post-adoption wraparound services across California to support adoptive families in need. As a nonprofit support entity that not only addresses the behavioral challenges of adopted children but also empowers and educates parents to foster a healing environment at home, we believe reducing everyday stresses can significantly benefit and enhance family bonding. By utilizing trauma-based training, our parent coaches assess family dynamics, capacities, and obstacles to aid in transforming every home into a tranquil atmosphere for the long haul.

What are High Fidelity Wraparound Services?

Haven offers Intensive Care Coordination with High Fidelity Wraparound Services, which is a personalized and team-driven process designed to deliver comprehensive services and support. This method is particularly focused on children and youth with intricate emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges, along with their families. 

Throughout this journey, a dedicated care coordinator collaborates closely with the family, bringing together and guiding the Wraparound team. The coordinator also assists the family by providing access to evidence-based parent coaching, monitoring progress and satisfaction, and adjusting the care plan as necessary to maintain family bonding and growth.
