Guest Madison Witte, Safe Families for Children Coordinator with Bethany Christian Services, talks about the Safe Families for Children program that allows parents to place their children in a voluntary foster care arrangement with a host family in order to get back on their feet or provide a better situation for their children. Bethany Christian Services trains local St. Louis families to be voluntary hosts and also to support those families who provide this care for children. Safe Families for Children is a nationwide program, however, so find your local chapter at safe-families.org. In St. Louis, learn more at bethany.org/other-services/safe-families-for-children or call the intake line at 314-452-6547 and talk to a staff member.
