System Reform

The NCFIE staff and consultants are comprised of an expert team of innovative executive management staff and practitioners with extensive experience in the nonprofit human services sector. Staff and consultants have experience with County, State, and Federal Government contracts and system transformation efforts. Our consultants and staff specialize in creating efficient, effective integrated systems using the wraparound process and systems of care approach. They have successfully led full scale privatization and system reform initiatives to become successful high performing programs.

Why C.A.R.E.S.?

“When at-risk children can safely remain in their homes rather than enter foster care, they experience less trauma and better outcomes. The challenge is that many child welfare systems do not know how to assure the safety of children and how to support parents in being responsible and effective caregivers. Through systematic implementation of wraparound services, Brevard Family Partnership got it right. They showed how complex and difficult families could be strengthened and supported, serving more children and families with scarce resources for better outcomes. Brevard Family Partnership’s implementation of the wraparound intervention provided a model of success for Florida’s child welfare waiver demonstration and points the way for national efforts to strengthen families and provide a safe alternative to out-of-home care.” Don Winstead, Former Deputy Secretary of the Florida Department of Children and Families and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Services Policy at the Department of Health and Human Services
“Brevard C.A.R.E.S. helped me in so many ways...they helped me with a lot of “little” things, but to me, it wasn’t little. They really care about me and my kids. They helped me feel better about myself.”S.J. ,C.A.R.E.S. Parent
“Our family is so grateful for the hope, love, and help we have received from Brevard C.A.R.E.S…. Brevard C.A.R.E.S. has made a difference in the life of our family.”Mr. Martinez, C.A.R.E.S. Parent
