Benchmarks’ Center for Quality Integration redesigns the local child welfare/behavioral health system, changing the way child welfare, Medicaid Managed Care Organizations, local providers, and the wider community understand the need for accessible, appropriate mental health services for children, youth and families who have experienced potentially traumatic events.

The Louisiana First Foundation began through First Lady Donna Edwards. The foundation’s mission is to support Louisiana’s children and spread awareness for causes such as Teach MAM (Music, Arts, Movement), Louisiana Fosters, and Anti Human Trafficking. The Foundation is excited to join a national network of advocates, community leaders, parents, teachers, and other caring contributors.

We advocate for the bio/psycho/social well being of foster children. We recognize, acknowledge and validate the trauma endured by children placed in foster care. We embrace the capacity of healing and ultimate recovery for foster children with family, community and professional support.
