CarePortal Meets First Needs

December 23, 2020

CarePortal officially launched in St. Lucie County. Thursday, December 3.

The system helps put local resources at the fingertips of case managers and other direct-service staff through a local network of faith organizations coordinated by 4Kids of the Treasure Coast.

For example, a request for two twin beds and mattresses was made during a live demonstration. The request went to five local churches, one of which responded during the event. Within hours, the requesting case manager was coordinating delivery of the beds to a local caregiver who needed them to accommodate an adoption.

The system is available only to protective investigators with the Department of Children and Families and CCKids case managers on behalf of families served by the dependency system. And for now, it is active only in St. Lucie County.

If you are a family in need - and your children are in the dependency system - contact your case manager for help.
