FAMILY FOCUS

Family Focus combines a complete array of short-term, trauma-responsive residential treatment services with trauma-informed in-home support services to help families work through their most urgent problems and learn the skills they need to remain together safely. During this 9-month program (which may be extended on a month-by-month basis with approval), our team works closely with each family, connecting them to community resources to plan, coordinate, and carry out the treatment process.

Families Receive:

  • An individualized plan for success.
  • Access to residential treatment, in-home services, or a combination of both.
  • Weekly individual child therapy, family therapy, and case management services.
  • 24/7 access to our team.
  • Respite care for crisis intervention.
  • Connections to community resources to transition supports and services to a sustaining community-based provider.
