At Strengthening VC Families, a program of Ventura County Children and Family Services, it is our belief that every child deserves permanency, and every family deserves to stay together whenever it is safe. We also wholeheartedly believe and strive toward the ideal that it takes an entire community to help keep a family together by showing them love and support. Through Strengthening VC Families, we strive to make a paradigm shift away from rescuing children and instead, working together with our professionals as well as members of the community to keep families together whenever possible, especially our amazing resource families. Our main goal at Ventura County Children and Family Services is to keep children safe while strengthening their families and providing a network of community support around them.
