About us


Children’s Home Network is dedicated to improving lives and changing life stories. We unlock the potential of at-risk children and families by providing compassionate and effective services that create opportunities for success and one of these services is Caregiver Support!


Caring for children is hard work.  It’s an endeavor that is both demanding and one that can challenge a person to their core.  It can include a range of emotions from pure bliss and satisfaction to the opposite where frustration and feelings of anxiety and self-doubt are at the forefront. Few people realize just how overwhelming it is to be a parent or caregiver….until they become one.  By now we know that the perfect parent of caregiver is merely an illusion and there are no perfect formulas for assured success.  


But what if you were faced suddenly with the realization that the child in your care had other challenges.  Challenges beyond your expectations or pre-conceived notions on what “normal” child development looks like?  Nothing can prepare you for the emotions of caring for a special needs child- a situation that constantly includes unexpected obstacles.  It can leave parents and caregivers feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and stretched beyond their limits.  


This is where Caregiver Support Services come into play.  Whether you are a member of the Clinical team, Respite team, or Support Services team, you play an integral part in our mission to reduce child abuse and neglect in Pinellas County!
