Black Family Table Talk: What Happened to the Village?
It takes a village to raise a child. There are a disproportionate number of Black youth in the foster care child welfare system. Black Family Table Talk invites SAFY of Nevada’s Executive Director, Valerie Hicks to talk about how SAFY is working hard to strengthen Black youth and Black families.

Our
services
therapeutic foster care
Our Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) services provide a stable home environment with families who care for and believe any child or teen can achieve their full potential. Utilizing a team of highly-qualified treatment foster homes, we support each youth’s greatest needs. Our foster families are equipped with tools such as parental skill building and behavioral coping skills to ensure each child’s physical and emotional well-being needs are met. Our foster parents serve as Agents of Hope, a mentoring bridge between youth and their biological or adoptive family, securing the child’s future.
behavioral health
Our Behavioral Health services provide dynamic, effective mental health treatment for children and families who have endured trauma, reducing stays in placements such as foster care, residential treatment and juvenile detention. Our services are aimed at mitigating the youth and family’s trauma experience, helping individuals build the skills and support to engage in their community.
