Embrace Families Solutions works to strengthen families and the communities in which they live. As an affiliated non-profit agency operated as part of Embrace Families, our goal is to get ahead of challenges that often disrupt families – like victim advocacy, family homelessness and youth mental health. This work helps to strengthen and keep families intact before they become overwhelmed by crisis.

Embrace Families Solutions was formed in 2013 as a separate non-profit agency, remaining as part of the overall Embrace Families organization. Our programs aim to improve the lives of children, their families, and the Central Florida community by filling critical gaps in the community-wide system of care for vulnerable populations.
