Family Intervention is the second part of the work we do at ESTHERS Children. When a child or children are identified as a candidate for our substitute family home program, we begin by intervening with the family. We assist the family by helping provide food,
looking for employment for the parent(s), assisting with serious medical needs as they arise and pastoral care. Once the child is transitioned into one of our substitute family homes, we continue with the family intervention because our goal is that if possible, the child will eventually be reunited with their family.
We also believe that it is very important to the well being of the child that they remain connected with their family while at Esther's House. To accomplish this, we arrange for families to visit their children every fifteen to thirty days, invite them to birthdays and other social events at Esther's House, and when possible arrange for a weekend stay at home once a month for each child. |
