Support begins with a careful intake process.

We look at what has been disrupted and what needs attention first. That may include school, health and wellness needs, family stability, transportation, financial stress, career goals, or plans to relocate within the U.S. or prepare for return to the United States.

​

From there, DAAF helps create a practical support path. We connect participants to available programs, resources, referrals, and follow-up support based on their situation. The goal is not a one-size-fits-all answer. The goal is steady guidance that helps each child and family take the next right step.

​

​DAAF also supports participants beyond their immediate needs. Once basic concerns such as housing, health, safety, and daily stability are addressed, our programs continue helping children, youth, caregivers, and families build the skills and support they need for education, financial empowerment, career readiness, independence, and long-term opportunity.

​

Through education support, life skills, financial empowerment, career readiness, advocacy, and repatriation planning, DAAF helps participants move from crisis response toward stability, independence, and a stronger future.
