Home-Based Services
Family-centered casework and therapy
Our Home-Based Services program offers a variety of solutions to meet the unique needs of each family who is placed in our care from the legal system.
Each family in our program will be matched with one of our “Family Consultants” who will come to the client’s homes to determine their unique needs. The family Consultant will then work weekly with the clients to address these needs.
