Our program strives to keep families together by improving family functioning, reducing risk and safety concerns, as well as providing practical skills and therapeutic supports to all members of the family.
We work with the Department of Communities & Justice (DCJ) to address any Risk of Significant Harm concerns that have been identified for the family. We work with families who have children aged from birth to 17 years. Intensive family preservation focuses on providing intensive supports to families over a period of 6 – 9 months. This support includes frequent visits, up to 3 times a week with 24/7 on-call support. Depending on the needs of the family, we aim to support them with some or all of the following:
- Strengthening family bonds
- Increasing family safety and reducing family conflict
- Increasing parental skills as well as problem solving
- Increasing safer household living conditions
- Developing appropriate and sustainable household routines
- Increasing social, family and community supports and connections
- Increasing self-regulation capacity for all members of the family
- Developing budgeting skills.
