Family Support Services

Parenting Support Services

This one-on-one service that actively develops the skills necessary to parent, manage a home and/or maintain suitable housing. These conditions affect child safety. This service may also include going into the home and observing the parent/child relationships, providing some level of supervision to the parent/child relationship or providing similar services involving the family as a unit. This service provides an active, ongoing assessment of family stresses which affect safety and may result in necessary action. The emphasis here is that the provision of service will assist in controlling one or more of the identified and described influences which place the child’s safety in the home in question. This service often helps to control for conditions created by a parent’s reaction to stress, a parent being inconsistent about caring for children, a parent reacting impulsively and a parent having inappropriate expectations of children.
