CONCERN - Professional Services for Children, Youth, and Families (Greater Berks

In 1978, CONCERN began as a pioneer of intensive foster care, believing that children placed into care should live in a traditional family setting in the community, rather than in a residential or institutional setting. Since this time, CONCERN has been at the forefront of innovative programs to meet the individual needs of the child. CONCERN has served over 15,000 children and youth in placement services, including over 1,500 into adoptive families. Through 17 service sites throughout eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland, CONCERN offers a growing array of adoption, counseling, foster care, and residential programs. Each day our placement services impact the lives of nearly 400 children and youth. Each year our counseling services touch the lives of approximately 4,000 individuals through a continuum of services. CONCERN is nonprofit organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who serve without compensation. Administratively, CONCERN’s management team is led by an Executive Director with each service site being led by properly credentialed supervisory personnel.
