Agencies put families first - Medford News - KTVL.com
MEDFORD, Ore. — Jackson County agencies celebrated families Thursday.
Several nonprofits including OnTrack, CASA and The Child Welfare Center have dedicated the last few years to keeping families together. Traditionally, children of parents suffering from drug addictions are removed from their families and put into foster care. Now, local agencies are working together to provide treatment services to parents, while allowing their families to stay together.
The director of OnTrack says this effort has reduced the amount of children in foster care by 40 percent since 2007.
"We love it because of the damage that is done with children when they're removed from families, anything to keep them safely at home," said Rita Sullivan.
