Help One Child – Tanya Nemcik
By partnering with local churches and community agencies, Help One Child’s mission is to strengthen foster, adoptive, and at-risk families by providing them access to education, community, and tangible resources. By addressing the unique needs of foster, adoptive and vulnerable families they strive to positively impact the long-term health and stability for family preservation.
Tanya Nemcik is the CarePortal Program Manager for the Bay Area. She met the Executive Director of Help One Child when she was Lead of Children's Ministry at her church, Saint Matthew Lutheran in Walnut Creek. In years prior, she also was a CASA and worked with several non-profit organizations, including being a board member of Pillars of Hope which offers restoration services for survivors of human trafficking. She has a long history of advocating for children that are underserved and underrepresented. She loves that CarePortal is bridging the gap to allow the community of people that have resources and want to help with those in need. Contra Costa County launched CarePortal last month, and they are looking to launch Alameda County as well. CarePortal is a web based platform that is used in 22 states, and several counties in California. Help One Child purchases the license agreement to use CarePortal, and they provide all the training to the agencies and the churches. The training includes how to use CarePortal, protecting confidentiality, and also partners with others to provide free other kinds of training like Trauma Informed Training. The idea is to bring awareness and support those that are supporting the vulnerable families in our community.
