FOSTER PLACEMENT AGENCIES
Nourishing Stability. Supporting Success
At Healthy Haven Nutrition, we collaborate with Georgia’s Foster Placement Agencies to provide nutrition-centered solutions that strengthen caregiver placement, stabilize behaviors, and support the whole health of children and youth in foster care.
Nutrition That Supports Successful Placement
We understand that placements thrive when children and caregivers are supported—especially when it comes to food. Our trauma-informed services help foster parents 1) meet the unique nutritional, emotional, and behavioral needs of the children they welcome into their homes and 2) meet the health and well-being needs of the placement family.
-
Calmer mealtimes = reduced caregiver burnout
-
Informed feeding = fewer power struggles
-
Stabilized nutrition = better sleep, mood & school focus
-
Empowered youth = higher placement retention
