What we do: Catholic Charities offers a variety of Family Support Services designed to strengthen and support families. Services focus on early intervention to improve family functioning, empower individuals to achieve self sufficiency and promote healthy parent child relationships. Family Support programs provide families with comprehensive support services, case management and life skills education. Qualified staff assist families in accessing needed community services such as child care, health care, employment and financial assistance and other social services. Staff work individually with parents to enhance parenting skills, deal with difficult behaviors and improve family problem solving abilities. Home visitation is available to improve accessibility to program services. Group presentation and life skills education classes are provided on a variety of topics of interest to parents and children. The Family Support and Resource Center offers a place for families to receive information and services to improve their family stability and their ability to access needed services and to socialize and network with other families.
Who we serve: The Family Outreach and Support Program is available to children and their families enrolled in select elementary and middle schools, child care centers and after school programs. The Kinship Care Program serves grandparents and other relative caregivers who are caring for their grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins or other relative children who can no longer be cared for by their natural parents. The Parents as Partners Program serves families who have had one verified abuse report to the Department of Children and Families. Families voluntarily agree to participate in the program and receive in-home services. The Family Support and Resource Center provides families accessible life skills education, family support services, education and opportunities for social and recreational activities in the community.
