Family & Children’s Program

Studies have shown a child who grows up in an environment where justice involvement or addiction exists can experience unimaginable hardships, like impaired health, slowed development, and other consequences that result in poor academic performance and aggression. It’s a destructive cycle that affects all family members and, ultimately, our community.

With an emphasis on parenting skills, clinical care and prevention, this family-focused programming provides the tools needed by both parents and children to turn their lives around and move together toward a future defined by promise.

• Comprehensive parenting education classes
• Individual case management services focusing on reunification
• Developmental assessments and kindergarten readiness programming to address the needs of children under five years old
• The Under Five Critical Needs Pantry (provides diapers, wipes, hygiene items, and childproofing supplies)
• Saturday Family Reunification Activities (opportunities for families to reunite)

• Clinical assessment of children to identify mental health needs
• Individual, group and family counseling to address mental and behavioral health concerns

• Enriching, prevention focused programming to school age children to break the family cycle of substance abuse, help children build positive social and emotional skills, and increase their school success
• After school care, as well as full time care during school breaks and the summer so clients can focus on their treatment and recovery while children are cared for in a safe and nurturing environment
