HomeBased Services Home-Based services are designed to meet the needs of families with children "at-risk" for out-of-home placement.  The goal is to maintain their families through in-home counseling and therapy.  Family strengths are the basis to begin resolving issues which impact the functioning of children and their families in the home, community, and school.  Staff link families with resources in the community to assist families in accomplishing their goals. Educational and skill-building experiences are provided for children and their families. Staff provide individual and family counseling in the home to prevent out-of-home placement.  Areas of focus with families include emotional problems of children and adults, behavioral problems in children, family of origin issues, and chemical use. Licensed professionals provide therapy and evaluations for children with serious emotional problems.  The staff also provide individual, marital, and family therapy.
