our work

MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™

MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ creates micro-communities around hub homes where foster families and kinship carers have access to trusted, experienced, and local caregivers for immediate support-- emulating the structure of an extended family & creating a relational safety net for young people in care.

MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ builds nurturing communities of foster and kinship families. United by shared experiences and local proximity, young people and families find belonging and invaluable peer support. Through life's ups and downs, they know they are not alone.

MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ supports partner agencies in the U.S. and across the globe. Constellations can be found in urban, rural, and suburban communities, including: 

  • Washington
  • California
  • Kansas
  • New York
  • Oklahoma
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • Japan
  • The Netherlands
  • The United Kingdom

Here at The Mockingbird Society, our MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ team partners with child welfare agencies as they implement and adapt MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ to the unique needs and challenges of their communities. In this way, we help agencies maintain the integrity of MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™, as well as connect them with fellow practitioners all around the world.
