Children’s Bureau + Families First is a non-profit organization formed through the merger of two long-standing Indiana-based social service agencies in 2021: The Children’s Bureau (established 1851) and Families First (founded 1835). The organization provides comprehensive family services and child welfare programs throughout Indiana, focusing on preventing and addressing child abuse, neglect, and family crisis situations. The organization offers a wide range of services including foster care, adoption, family preservation, counseling, domestic violence support, and child abuse prevention programs. They operate multiple locations across Indiana and serve thousands of children and families annually through their various programs and initiatives. Children’s Bureau + Families First is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and maintains partnerships with state agencies, including the Indiana Department of Child Services. The organization relies on a combination of government funding, grants, and private donations to support its operations and programs. Their services are delivered through evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care approaches. The organization employs licensed social workers, counselors, and other professionals who work directly with families and children. They also provide training and support for foster parents and adoptive families while advocating for policies that promote child welfare and family stability in Indiana.
