Are you a caregiver of a current or former foster youth? Are you feeling frustrated? Would you like additional support?
The Family Urgent Response System (FURS) is a coordinated state and county response system that will provide current and former foster youth (up to age 21) and their caregivers with immediate, trauma-informed support by caring and trained professionals when they need it.
FURS will accomplish this through a 24/7 Statewide Hotline and a 24/7 County-based Mobile Response and Stabilization.
Call or Text: 1-833-939-FURS
FURS is intended to:
- Prevent placement disruptions and preserve the relationship between the child or youth and their caregiver
- Reduce the need for a 911 call or law enforcement involvement and the needless criminalization of traumatized youth
- Reduce hospitalization and placement into congregate care
- Promote healing as a family
- Provide a safe and judgement-free space for youth and caregivers
