crisis situation Anu foster parents and social workers

Treatment Foster Care

Each child’s needs are carefully assessed to establish individualized programming and matching to a treatment foster home qualified to meet his or her emotional, developmental, behavioral and/or medical needs.

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching is a short-term intervention that provides foster, adoptive and kinship parents and other caregivers with hands-on, here-and-now tools for bringing about rapid and dramatic improvement in their child’s behavior.  Using a strategy customized to each individual family, coaches work with caregivers, in the absence of the child, to teach methods and tools that promote attachment and self-esteem while feeding the development of even more positive behaviors.  Caregivers are able to strengthen bonds while teaching children new and effective ways of interacting with their world.

Intensive Permanence Services (ISP)

Intensive Permanence Services use family search & engagement techniques with youth while also addressing the grief, loss and trauma that youth have had which if left unaddressed can create a barrier to successful transitions to lifelong permanency.

ISP Staff have low caseloads and use research informed models of care to help youth navigate the complexities encountered when connecting and reconnect with caring adults. These services help youth create a web of connections for and create greater opportunities for permanency.
