FIND

FIND (Family, Individuals, Neighbors, and Devotees) is a kinship navigator program which aims to help children in foster care, or at risk of coming into foster care, connect with and find placement with those who would be considered relatives or kin. COMPACT works with both private and state child placing agencies to locate these invaluable connections for children.

Diversion Strategy

COMPACT Missouri’s diversion strategy works in collaboration with local Children’s Division circuits to wrap both tangible and community based services around at risk families in the community.These referrals are made when a child is at risk of coming into care, a child is at risk of disrupting from a current foster care placement, or when a foster family or relative placement is struggling to meet a certain need to maintain placement of a child.
