Our Mission

Many children and adolescents are unable to live in their own homes for a variety of reasons including behavioral problems, neglect and/or abuse.  Others have been living in residential facilities for a period of time, separated from their families and communities.  When appropriate, being part of a specialized foster family allows each child/adolescent the opportunities for typical experiences in a safe and nurturing home with trained, professional parents.

REM, Utah is a therapeutic foster care program with a mission to keep children and adolescents in a less restrictive home setting while working to achieve an individual's full potential.  REM, Utah provides a broad range of individualized services to meet the needs of the child/adolescent with challenging emotional and behavioral issues.  Its goal is to develop family relationships, independent living skills and community connections.  REM, Utah also works on the plan toward permanency, preparing a child/adolescent for adoption or to be reunified with his or her family.
