Family Services

We provide a Family Services component for all of the children and families in our programs.  Social workers work with children and their families and have specialty areas such as Special Needs, Health, Transitions and Child Abuse and Maltreatment Prevention. 



When a new family begins one of our Children and Family Services programs, our Family Services staff complete a comprehensive family intake to ascertain the family’s strengths and needs.  We offer a variety of parent educational opportunities that include English Language and computer classes, general legal and housing assistance workshops, weekly parent support and training groups and topic-oriented parent education workshops on issues such as parenting skills, health and nutrition, sex-education, domestic violence, learning disabilities and child abuse. 


Significantly, our Children and Family Services programs provide diverse family service supports to aid the entire family. Numerous families come to us with a variety of issues such as substance abuse, domestic violence, language barriers, civil legal issues, housing problems, immigration status, parenting problems and more.
