Our Practitioners work with families involved with the child welfare system with the goal of removing the risk of harm to the child instead of removing the child. The program gives families the chance to learn new behaviors and helps them make better choices for their children.
  
  Our Practitioners provide in-home counseling, prevention, crisis intervention, and life skills services to clients.
