Supportive Family Services (SFS), was formed in 2020 to provide holistic support to families with a variety of needs through classes, coaching, and skill-building. The Supportive Family Services program performs a range of activities that strengthen Alaskan families by addressing the social and emotional well-being of the families we serve. SFS offers comprehensive services to support families who are currently or formerly unhoused. Services are designed to address housing instability and offer opportunities for all members of the family to build assets related to social and emotional wellbeing. The program also provides reunification services and resources to families who we have facilitated an adoption plan with previously.
Supportive Family Services utilizes the Strengthening Families approach – a research-informed, strength-based modality which helps families reduce stress, address risk factors, and promote healthy development.
