Many families in crisis can remain intact or reunite successfully when the appropriate intensive supports are available. Our services are easily accessible to referring parties and families, are flexible and are responsive to the family's needs.
Services are provided in the family's home and community with the focus on:
- Small caseloads - 4 to 5 families per caseworker
- Identifying case management needs
- Teaching and developing parenting skills
- Developing new communication styles
- Improving anger management skills
- Crisis support through on-call paging system
- Empowering families to successfully utilize community resources
- Enhancing the likelihood of the family remaining together as a functional unit
A master's level clinician provides the core services. Caseworkers are also available to work in collaboration with the clinician. Length and intensity of service delivery is determined at the time of initial assessment and is based on the nature and severity of the presenting problems.
