Congratulations to Ashley Cranston who has transitioned from Associate Director of Therapeutic Services to Director of Targeted Case Management!  In this role, Ashley has already begun to increase compliance of the program, brought on an additional TCM in Tallahassee as well as in Tampa, and most importantly formed positive energy and success of the Targeted Case Management Team!  Ashley’s leadership in this role will allow the program to grow at a healthy rate and put LifeShare in a good place to work toward expanding to additional funding sources for the program. 

In addition to Ashley’s leadership, two LifeShare TCM’s have been promoted to “Lead TCM”.  Congratulations to Angelina Rivera and Tamara Mohammad!  Hard work, dedication and passion for their role as a TCM has put them in this new leadership position in which they will assist with training new staff, marketing and community presentations as well as assist in overall compliance of TCM documentation. 

It is so exciting to think of the expectations that will be exceeded by this dynamic group of Leaders and Targeted Case Managers!

Help make a difference in the lives of children in the foster care system and become a therapeutic foster parent! 

Being a therapeutic foster parent means taking a child into your home and helping them to work through any emotional and behavioral problems they may have as a result of the abuse and/or neglect they have experienced growing up.

Foster parents don't just provide children with a bed to sleep in, but most importantly, are there to support, love and help the child grow in a safe and nurturing home environment.

There are numerous supports and trainings available to assist foster parents such as in home counseling, 24/7 contact with agency representative, monthly training opportunities, behavior specialists and large social network of already licensed foster parents!

 We are currently recruiting and licensing homes in Miami, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Tallahassee, Daytona, Lakeland and Orlando. 

 
 
Please go to our website www.lifeshareinc.org and click on the pink button that says “click here to become a home care or foster care provider”. A LifeShare representative will contact you upon completion of the questionnaire.

Sarah was a loving, caring, one of a kind person, that will forever be in our hearts.  In honor of Sarah a memorial website and Sarah’s Fund has been created at http://sarah-meltzer.last-memories.com/

The website shares a little bit about who Sarah was and her strong desire to reach out to and help people.

We have also created “Sarah’s Fund” for anyone that would like to make a donation in Sarah’s name

Sarah’s Fund will provide counseling to individual's that cannot afford it. This was very dear to Sarah's heart as she volunteered her time every week to counsel individual’s in need. There are instructions listed on Sarah's memorial site on how to donate to her fund.

Sarah will be forever a part of the LifeShare Family and will be greatly missed.
