Heartland for Children

Heartland for Children is the local not-for-profit agency responsible for redesigning the foster care system in Florida's Circuit 10 (Polk, Hardee and Highlands Counties).

Heartland for Children promotes the prevention of child abuse and oversees the provision of services for children who have experienced trauma.

These services include in-home family strengthening, adoption, case management, foster care and independent living. As the local Child Welfare Lead Agency, Heartland for Children is concerned with the safety and well being of all children and teens in our community.
