Decades of Strengthening Families

Getting started with Safeway Family Services is straightforward. First, we schedule a free consultation at our Bridgeport office or by phone. We discuss your specific situation, goals, and needs. Next, we explain all service options and funding pathways, including Connecticut DDS waivers. Then, we create a personalized plan. Finally, we match you with our most appropriate trained staff member. We handle all coordination with support coordinators and state agencies, making the process seamless for Bridgeport and Fairfield County families.

Supporting Families

Our Day Support Options (DSO) include community outings, life skills training, and vocational activities. Residential services offer safe in-home support with medication management and personal care. ABA therapy sessions focus on communication and behavior goals with Board Certified analysts. Transportation ensures reliable access to all programs. For families, we provide court-approved visitation and parenting skill development. Every service maintains strict confidentiality and professional standards.

Founded with Purpose

In 2014, Gene & Susan Allen—with over 20 years of experience in juvenile justice and as therapeutic foster parents—founded Safeway Family Services. They saw the need for early, positive intervention to strengthen families before crises escalate. What began with supervised visitation has grown into comprehensive support for our community.
