Welcome to COBYS Family Services
At COBYS, we offer care and support during some of life’s most difficult moments. Our work can be challenging — sometimes complex and heartbreaking — but it is necessary, honorable, and life-altering. It can even be joyful. Our services are designed to meet the unique needs of children, adults, and families at risk, meeting them where they are and serving them with empathy, compassion, dignity and hope.
Our Mission
Motivated by Christian faith, COBYS Family Services educates, supports, and empowers children and adults to reach their full potential.
The COBYS Difference
COBYS strives to provide a continuum of care, with services related to the physical safety of children and the behavioral and emotional health of children and adults. Caring for individuals in need presents many challenges, and our mission focuses on delivering joyful, transformative care with a servant spirit. This is the COBYS Difference. It comes down to why we do what we do, and how we do it.
The individuals that we’ve worked with at COBYS have all been incredible — detail oriented, organized, knowledgeable and always willing to answer our questions. We feel they genuinely value us and the wellbeing of our family.”
~ Eric & Marisa Albrecht, Standby Foster Parents
How You Can Help
Our faith motivates us to provide care that goes beyond the basics. While we receive county and state funding, this level of potentially life-altering care cannot be delivered without the support of our community. We are continually blessed by the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, and community groups who believe in our mission. See how you can help, too.
