History

In our Preventive Services program, families are provided a range of supportive services to assist parents/caregivers in addressing any barriers to their children’s health, safety, and well-being. The goal is to help families stabilize, strengthen, and prevent child maltreatment, so that they can avoid any future involvement with the child welfare system. We provide a clinical intervention, which includes family therapy, case management support, client advocacy, and parent coaching, to help adult caretakers step up and lead their family towards higher functioning and greater self-sufficiency.
