CareBridge Copilot™ helps caregivers know what to say, what to do, and how to stay consistent in real time. It is an educational caregiver-support tool that uses AI and real therapist guidance to help caregivers of children ages 2–21 who need real-time guidance in everyday situations like transitions, emotional escalation, routines, and follow-through — especially while waiting for or between services.

It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or medical care and does not replace your BCBA, therapist, pediatrician, or school team.

Sunderlin offers personalized ABA therapy with smarter support. Every child deserves compassionate, effective care. At Sunderlin, their therapists deliver individualized ABA programs while AI tools streamline progress tracking and reporting, so families get clarity without the wait.

“Faith Love Foster exists to wrap around and support the families who open their homes and hearts to children from hard places.

Founded by foster, kinship, and adoptive parents, their non-profit organization was born from firsthand experience. They understand both the incredible beauty and the real challenges that come with caring for children who have experienced trauma. Because they live this journey themselves, they are deeply committed to ensuring that no family has to walk it alone.

Serving families across the Treasure Valley, Faith Love Foster works to bridge the gap between community resources and the real-life, everyday needs of these families. Through partnerships with churches, local businesses, and compassionate community members, we mobilize support that strengthens families and helps them thrive.

At Faith Love Foster, we believe that when communities step forward in faith and generosity, families are strengthened, and children are given the opportunity to heal, grow, and flourish.

They have a resource peer mentor program for kinship families in the foster care system in Regions 3 & 4.”

At 4 The Love Of Kinship, their mission is to support and empower kinship caregivers in every form. Whether through informal care, guardianship, foster placement, or adoption, they strive to ensure the children they raise are safe, healthy, nurtured, and deeply loved. They build a strong, inclusive community through advocacy, peer support, and meaningful connections, honoring the vital role kinship families play in a child’s life.

They have kinship support groups available. Please contact Charlye Hahn 208-863-7142 or executivedirector@4theloveofkinship.org for more information.

The Senior Companion Program is a nationwide program funded by AmeriCorps Seniors and has been around for over 50 years. Our local Senior Companion Program serves Nez Perce, Asotin, and Latah counties. A senior companion is a friendly visit that can assist with transportation, light exercise, shopping, and advocacy/paperwork. A Senior Companion is thoroughly vetted and must pass a fingerprint-based criminal history check. The Companion will be provided with orientation and will attend monthly education meetings. A Senior Companion is not a caretaker, and will not bathe, dress, or physically care for their clients.
