    Family Training Services
    Provides families with home based hands-on family education, including the option of extended visitation to help meet their goals. An assessment is used to identify strengths and needs of each individual family, so together we build on those strengths in addressing their specific needs. Services help promote an environment to which a child can safely be returned home. These families will have the ability to maintain a safe environment after reunification, with increased support within our community. 
     
    Extended Visitation/Observation
    Assist families to meet their goal of Family Reunification by providing a safe home-like atmosphere for an extended parent/child visitation. Visitation is a valuable tool in preserving and reuniting families with the potential for developing a healthy bond between the child and parent.
     
    Family Group Decision Making Conferencing
    This is a family-centered practice based on family strength. Facilitators provide an opportunity for the family, extended family service providers and community to come together to create a plan for the safe and the well-being of the child for a permanent return home. Together better decisions make better outcomes.
