Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Adoption, Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Foster Care, Human Services, Residential Care & Adult Day Programs
Mission: Bethanna is a christian non-profit organization that provides services for children and their families. For over 75 years, bethanna has reached out to abused, neglected, and medically needy children in the greater philadelphia area. Bethanna's mission, as a christian organization, is to provide the highest quality system of care for children and families, to ensure safety, restore emotional wellness, and build family stability. Bethanna offers a continuum of services to support at-risk children, youth, and their families. Bethanna's guiding belief is that these children should live with and be raised by their birth parents. However, when this setting is disrupted, bethanna has an array of social and mental health services available to meet the unique needs of individual children and their families.
Programs: Foster care - we believe that children can best reach their potential in a family setting. Many of the children and families bethanna serves have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse; and been effected by substance abuse, neglect, and other challenging life circumstances. The families are affected by various traumas that impact their developmental, behavioral, emotional or medical development. Bethanna works to ensure safety, permanency and well being for all the children in our care. Bethanna is committed to providing children with stability, warmth, and support until they are reunited with their birth families or another permanency option is secured for them such as adoption or permanent legal custodianship.
ctss clinical transition and stabilization services services are designed to support children/youth who are stepping down from a higher level of care into a community based setting such as moving from a residential treatment facility back to their home or into a foster home. Ctss also provides stabilizations services to children/youth that are at risk for stepping up into a higher level of care, or at risk for disruption in their living environment. We increase the likelihood of a stable placement, with a decreased need for readmission to acute levels of service, by offering prospective caregivers specialized support upon their child/youth's discharge from inpatient or residential programs. The ctss program is a 90 day service that provides behavioral health assessment and clinical services until the individual and family served with the goal of stabilizing the presenting concerns and connecting them to community based service providers who will continue their behavioral health care as appropriate.
adoption - bethanna's first priority is to safely reunite the child and parents. However, when it is not possible for a child to return to his/her biological family, bethanna seeks adoptive families to ensure the child has a permanent home. Bethanna is an affiliate of the pennsylvania statewide adoption and permanency network (swan).
