PEOPLE SEARCH

Find the Family Connections That Matter Most

People Search by Connect Our Kids helps child welfare professionals quickly identify and locate relatives and supportive adults for youth in care.

Whether used within Family Connections or as a standalone tool, People Search expands the ability to uncover family networks and reconnect young people with the people who care about them.

When workers have better information, children have a better chance of finding lasting support.

The result: more connections, more opportunities for belonging.
