Charitable, Educational & Prevention-Focused Programs
(Youth ages 5-18 & Caregiver Support)

Slate Family Services Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening individuals, families, and communities through non-clinical, skills-based education, prevention programming, and inclusive community initiatives. Our programs are designed to increase access to learning, build practical life skills, and promote long-term independence and well-being.

The Foundation exists to address service gaps that families often face—particularly in early support, prevention, youth development, and community inclusion. All programs are educational and supportive in nature and are designed to complement, not replace, clinical or medical services.

Our Programs

Through the Foundation, we offer a range of community-centered programs, including:

• Building Brave Minds
  A preventative, skills-based program focused on social-emotional learning, resilience, and healthy skill development for children and youth. Programs are designed to support emotional awareness, coping skills, and positive peer engagement in developmentally appropriate ways.
• F.E.A.S.T. – Family (Family Education, Advocacy & Skills Training)
  An educational program providing caregivers with practical tools, guidance, and advocacy support. F.E.A.S.T.-Family empowers caregivers to navigate systems, build supportive routines, and strengthen family stability through informed decision-making.
• F.E.A.S.T. – Youth
  A non-clinical youth development program offering life skills education, self-advocacy, and age-appropriate skill building for children and adolescents. Programming focuses on confidence, independence, and positive social engagement.
• E.N.G.A.G.E. (Encouraging Natural Growth, Access, Group Inclusion & Enrichment)
  A community enrichment and inclusion program that creates opportunities for connection, volunteerism, and workforce exposure. E.N.G.A.G.E. promotes communication skills, community participation, and inclusive experiences that support personal growth and belonging.
