Family Mentoring
Supports families, children, and youth at risk of out-of-home placement or transitioning back into the home setting. This service emphasizes trauma-informed support for primary household caregivers. Through individualized mentoring, parenting education, and guided access to community resources, we help families strengthen their relationships, enhance daily functioning, and promote long-term stability. The program focuses on reducing parental stress and family dysfunction while nurturing healthy, lasting bonds.
Family mentors partner with key stakeholders to establish and pursue goals customized to each family’s specific needs. Areas of focus often include developing self-sufficiency, improving social skills, financial management, anger management, academic and career guidance, and connecting with community resources. These services are designed to strengthen family unity and provide the support necessary to create enduring, positive change for both children and caregivers.

Kinship Support
Provides goal-oriented, targeted support and personalized, weekly education to kinship caregivers. This service aims to set specific goals to strengthen family placements through skill development, creating effective parenting strategies tailored to the child’s needs, and addressing complex family dynamics and evolving roles. Service plans are developed in collaboration with the family and service worker to provide tailored support for the unique challenges kinship caregivers face when welcoming a relative child into their home.
Kinship Support is designed as a short-term, transitional service. Over the course of 12 weeks, Kinship Support Specialists will work closely with the caregiver to offer education on the impacts of trauma, healthy child development, and effective discipline and guidance strategies. The program focuses on stabilizing the placement during the transitional period, fostering safety, permanency, and overall well-being for both the child and the family.
