Family Services
Foster Care Prevention
The goal of this non-clinical service is to provide support and advocacy for families that have been identified as high-risk for removal due to family destabilization.
This service is a higher level of intervention and parent education is often included in prevention services. Foster Care Prevention services can also support the family in navigating the requirements of a CHINS.
This service can include basic parent education, home stability support, and educational sanitation support for the home as well as the family members. This service focuses on the family as a whole and can include meeting with parents or children separately, checking in with children at school, and assisting with appointments when necessary.

Clinical Behavioral Support
A trauma-informed program designed to provide clinical support to children struggling with behavioral support in the home to prevent out-of-home placement.
This program provides two master’s level clinicians per family to support the behavioral and relational needs of the client. CBS will focus on assessing and identifying the family's needs, providing a diagnosis when appropriate, and identifying modalities that would be effective for each individual client.
All clinicians in the home will have training in CBT, DBT, attachment-based family support, and trauma-informed psychoeducation. Clinicians will be paired with the client based on their knowledge of modalities that best serve the family. CBS is home-based and is intended to be a short-term service.
Brief Strategic Family Therapy®
BSFT® is a brief, targeted intervention focused on changing unhealthy interaction patterns in families. ​The BSFT® Program is designed for children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 who are at risk for or displaying behavior issues, such as substance abuse, conduct problems, and delinquency.
​​
The BSFT® model is a trauma-sensitive, culturally competent, strength-based model. Through focused interventions and skill-building strategies, BSFT® provides families with the tools to overcome individual and family risk factors. The approach is based on the assumption that family-based interactions strongly influence how children behave, and that targeting and improving maladaptive family interactions reduces the likelihood of symptomatic behavior.
