Wellroot Family Services

For some of us, home symbolizes safety, love, and stability, yet countless children and young adults in Georgia miss out on these essentials. Wellroot Family Services works to change this reality by providing programs that are designed to keep families together whenever possible, provide short-term foster families when necessary, and offer housing and wrap-around support to families and transition-age youth. Help us fulfill our vision of every child being raised in a safe, loving home. Join us in supporting Georgia's children, youth, and families by donating today. Donate now:?igfn.us/form/L4M82g

They discussed how evidence-based models and a continuum of care are helping keep families together and thriving. We’re proud to contribute to the conversation on creating brighter futures for children and families! ??

Congratulations to our CEO & President, Allison Ashe, for winning the Innovative Leadership Award at the Together Georgia Georgia Conference on Children & Families! Allison’s visionary leadership has transformed our impact as a nonprofit. As Juanita Stedman, Executive Director of Together Georgia, put it: “Safe to say, we women work outside of the box. Allison busts the box wide open. She doesn’t let the box get in her way, nor does she let those who think things should stay in the box get in her way. She came into Wellroot very focused on what the organization, already well-respected, could do to change child welfare in Georgia. She knew, as we all knew, that we need to reach these families before they reach us. She was very focused on preservation, and she actually increased the number of individuals Wellroot was serving by 433%.” Thank you, Allison, for your dedication and for inspiring all of us to dream bigger to achieve more for Georgia’s children and families.

In this heartfelt testimonial, the Tuckers reflect on their incredible journey as foster parents and the profound impact fostering has had on their lives and the lives of the children they've welcomed into their home. At Wellroot Family Services, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the love and stability of a supportive home.
