Since 1996, A Better Way has provided foster care placements to thousands of children and has finalized hundreds of adoptions. We are the one of the few organizations in Alameda, San Francisco, and Solano counties with expertise in assessing and providing mental health services to children 0-5 involved in the social services system through pre- or post-adoption, outpatient mental health, and reunification services. A Better Way has provided mental health services to thousands of children, many of whom live in our communities' most impoverished and violence-ridden neighborhoods. In addition to mental health services, we provide intensive support and case management for parents pursuing reunification through our Parent Engagement Program with the help of parents who have successfully navigated the reunification process. As a training center for foster parents and service providers, A Better Way provides thousands of hours of training per year in Alameda and Solano Counties - primarily through Title IV-E Training contracts with Chabot-Las Positas Community College. We coordinate and provide comprehensive training on an array of topics to professionals from other agencies, A Better Way staff, County personnel, and foster and birth parents.
