About Us
Big Bend Community Based Care was created in 2002 as a direct response to Florida's Legislature and Department of Children and Families initiative to improve child welfare services by developing solutions to care for children and families in their home communities. As the lead agency for 12 counties of the Big Bend region, Big Bend Community Based Care serves as the central location from which partner agencies can draw resources and support. Big Bend Community Based Care is proud to offer hands-on support to all of our foster and adoptive parents, volunteers and case managers. Far from being just an administrative office, we strive to get to know our children and families so we can provide them with the individualized attention they need.
At Big Bend Community Based Care we believe that all children have the right to grow up safe, healthy and fulfilled in families that love and nurture them. We focus on the following Core Values to guide us in our work:
- Respect the caregivers of children
- Be innovative and dedicated to excellence
- Be ethically, socially and culturally responsible
- Promote family and personal responsibility
- Partner with community and faith-based organizations to foster open and collaborative relationships
- Earn the trust and respect of our partners, customers and the public by providing exceptional customer service while practicing sound fiscal stewardship
- Employ an analytic and systemic approach to planning and performance management
- Facilitate a work environment that encourages professional growth and development
