Better Together actively works with law enforcement to be a resource for helping families in crisis.

Isis LaRose, our VP of Strategic Partnerships, is riding with Fort Myers Police Department officers as part of our efforts to equip them to share Better Together programs.

They’ve encountered parents who need support, families experiencing homelessness, and single parents facing short-term incarceration. One dad needed support when the mom of his kids faced jail time. We were able to help in that moment and connect him with a mentor to help navigate the family’s challenges moving forward.

We’re also building relationships with law enforcement across the state. These vital collaborations put Better Together where the need is greatest and allows us to empower parents to work through crises.

We help families weather life’s storms, and sometimes an actual storm becomes the crisis.

For families who are in poverty and isolated, a hurricane can push them over the edge, leaving children at risk. Our mission is to help families before they fall.

After Hurricane Ian in 2022, we were boots on the ground, knocking on doors and responding to the immediate needs of those most vulnerable in our communities. We mobilized hundreds of volunteers and worked alongside government officials, local partners, and churches to help at-risk families. We’re doing the same now in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene.
