Mission
Statement:
To
Protect, Preserve, and Strengthen Families.
We
aim to Protect Families from abusive government
intervention and from social forces that promote
Family disintegration.
We
aim to promote Education and Human Values
conductive to Preserve and Strengthen Families,
and bring harmony among its members.
We
aim to help Families dealing with internal
conflicts such as: Domestic Violence, Teen-age
rebellion, substance abuse, emotional crisis,
separation, Divorce, etc. to deal with them in a
constructive, conflict-resolution oriented form,
away from punitive measures that further damage
the Family. Our aim being to Heal not to dissolve
the Family.
We
consider that contradictions inside the Family,
relations between husband and wife, Children and
Parents are only exacerbated by government
intervention.
We
consider Parents to be the Natural Protectors of
their Children and as such to have a God-given
right to raise them without government
intervention. As such we aim to promote a
Restoration of Parental Rights Act.
We
consider Fathers as equal partners and very
important for the healthy development of their
Children, and as such we encourage their full
participation in the lives of them, not only as
protectors and providers, but also by providing
emotional nourishment. Fathers, having the duty
of being role models for their Children, must
rise to fulfill that mission by being positive
role models, and by being there for their
Children. We aim to increase awareness among
fathers of their full responsability in the well
being of their Children, and the community to
help them regain their natural positive place in
society.
We
aim for both parents to have equal custodial
rights in the unhealthy social traumatic cases of
separation or divorce.
We
consider every member of the Family Unit equally
valuable, and thus they must be respected,
valued, and cared; including the most vulnerable:
Children and Elders.
We
consider Grandparents as valuable resources and
support for their Children and Grandchildren and
thus we need to protect them from unwanted
interventions by Adult Protective Services (APS)
and its contracting agencies who prey on the
Elderly and Infirm Adults.
Any
system that has no checks and balances and is
accountable to no one, will become abusive. The
Child Welfare System is by design such an entity.
We need to be ever vigilant in Preserving the
Family, since its integrity is essential for the
development of a Healthy Society. As such, we aim
to bring public awareness to the abuse of power
by Children Protective Services, the Family Court
System, and Foster Care providers and eventually
make them accountable.
We
aim to promote system change, including reform or
repeal of CAPTA (Child Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Act of 1974) and AFSA (Adoption and
Safe Families Act of 1997), Federal legislation
which has negatively impacted on Families,
especially poor Families.
We
consider that the majority of cases of parents
accused of abuse or neglect are rather cases of
poverty and that the government should use those
resources to Preserve Families rather than
dissolve them. The act of having Children taken
away from the people whom they trust and love the
most, has a devastating effect not only on those
Children, but also in the psychological and
financial well being of the whole Family, further
sinking them into poverty and creating chaos in
their lives and those of future generations.
We
aim to Help individual cases as they approach us
for help by Educating them about the reality of
the Family Court System, giving them Moral and
strategic support and being with them in court,
as a minimum. Our goal being to empower them by
developing Leadership to become the best
advocates to preserve their own Families as well
as of system change using every possible existing
legal, political, and social action in order to
protect themselves and their Children against
Gross Human Rights violations by instruments of
the state.
We
aim to be a Resource for referrals of Services
that contribute to Family Preservation in our
communities.
We
consider Family Preservation vital for our very
survival, being the biological Family Unit, the
Natural cell of Human Society; and coerced/forced
Foster Care and Special Ed in Public Schools the
main Social Cancer producers that feeds the
prison, homeless and mentally ill population. As
such we have a duty to promote Social Healing
initiatives that contribute to the Common Good.
