To our community of Minnesota adoptive, foster and kinship families and the professionals who serve them:
The MN ADOPT HELP Program continues its commitment and availability to you during this time that we are all affected by the COVID 19 social distancing measures, school closures and disruptions to normal routines.
We encourage you to continue to reach out for the support your family needs.
The HELP Program can be reached at 612-746-5137 or HELP-program@mnadopt.org . The program’s standard operating times are 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. However, in order to flex to the needs of families while Minnesota’s stay at home order is in place and/or schools are closed, our staff is temporarily able to offer expanded intake times. If you need to connect outside of our standard operating hours, please let us know in your email or voicemail and our team will make every attempt to accommodate your needs. In any message, please leave your phone number and your email address as this will help us connect to you more efficiently. We will be back in touch as soon as possible with a goal of responding within 48 hours Monday – Friday.
For immediate danger/safety needs:
- please call 911 and ask for a Crisis Intervention officer
- or go to your local emergency room.
For 24 hour Crisis Response – please call your county’s Crisis Response number.
