Family Partnerships of Central Florida is committed to protecting children, strengthening families and changing lives through a comprehensive, integrated, community-based system of care that provides adoption, foster care and independent living services for children and families in Brevard, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. Contracted with the Florida Department of Children and Families as the lead child welfare agency in the four-county area, Family Partnerships of Central Florida's mission is to ensure that the children it serves thrive in safe, healthy and loving families. We begin by helping Central Florida families overcome the root causes of abuse and neglect through programs that offer case management and other prevention services. When children can’t remain safely in their homes, we support them through foster care, adoption and beyond to ensure that they are able to move toward brighter futures.
