Angels Projects

Long-Range Efforts to Serve Needy Children

At Angels our mission is to serve the abandoned and abused foster babies of Santa Barbara County and we pursue this single mission through several different projects.

Infants in Crisis Project

Angels has adopted the acclaimed program pioneered by the original Angels Foster Family Network of San Diego to ensure healthy mental and physical development of at-risk babies and toddlers. There are no other agencies in the State of California that offer this unique and innovative method of matching abused babies with top-notch families where they can heal and learn to trust again. Statistical results show that our project dramatically outperforms other forms of more traditional foster care offered to babies. Learn more

Angels Parenting Program

Angels provides a comprehensive education to our foster parents to ensure the most loving and nurturing homes for our children. From safety, to child psychology, to physical development, to bonding theory, our parents learn everything they need to become the best possible foster parents. Learn more

Research Studies and Evaluation

Angels participates in long-term studies to gauge the effectiveness of our programs, and to provide future childcare providers with concrete data on the effectiveness of different foster programs. Learn more

Collaborations

Angels works with hospitals, children's shelters, and county agencies, who refer babies to us for placement with our loving, well-trained, certified Angels families. Learn more
