Philosophy

UMFS is not just for kids. We are champions for children, teens, families and communities. Our guiding philosophy is to always do whatever it takes to help children and teens successfully overcome the toughest odds and create bright futures for them. We assist the child or teen by empowering the entire family to become stable, self-sufficient and caring members of their communities.

Approach

UMFS programs use the Circle of Courage^TM treatment model that moves the child from isolation to a state of belonging. Our specialists work together as a team building relationships that give families someone to call whenever they need support.
