A beacon of hope for children with autism in the foster care system.
Our mission is clear: to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where every child with different needs can thrive.
WHO WE HELP
We extend our support to boys ages 11-17 in the foster care system, with a particular focus on those with autism and diverse needs. From fostering independence in our safe, nurturing group homes to providing specialized care and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we empower every child to thrive. Whether facing challenges in speech, mobility, or daily life skills, we’re here to make a difference in their lives.
WHAT WE DO
Our group homes offer a nurturing and supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. With individualized care plans, board-certified behavioral analysts on staff, and a focus on consistency and stability, we’re dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each child so they can build bright and promising futures.
Central to our mission is the cultivation of life skills. We empower our children to become as independent as possible, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in society. Every milestone they achieve brings us closer to our ultimate goal: to see them become productive members of their communities.
We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in the home is a tailored approach designed to address a wide range of needs in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Whether it's speech therapy, mobility assistance, or basic life skills like hygiene and grooming, ABA offers targeted interventions to support growth and independence.
While our primary focus is on housing children with autism in the foster care system, we recognize that there are many others with diverse needs who require temporary placement. We collaborate with agencies across Florida to connect these children with other licensed group homes that may have available beds, ensuring that no child is left without the support they need.
WHO WE ARE
At Strive Youth and Family Services, we believe in the inherent strength and potential of every child. Our values – Strength, Trust, Respect, Integrity, Value, and Education – are the foundation upon which we build a brighter future for children in need.
As a 501C3 nonprofit organization and licensed group home, we specialize in providing a nurturing and safe environment for children in foster care who have unique needs, including those with disabilities such as autism. Too often, these children struggle to find suitable placement within traditional group homes. That’s where we step in.
Working closely with the Department of Children and Families (DCF), we offer a haven for children who require specialized care and support. Our dedicated team ensures that each child receives the daily care they deserve, focusing not only on their immediate needs but also on their long-term development.
