In accordance with the mission of Family Connections, the Home-Based Services Program holds that the family is a desirable social institution and should be supported and maintained whenever possible.
Every family has resources and strengths which can be tapped to improve overall functioning.
Therapeutic intervention is designed to assist families in identifying their unique strengths, relationships, and organization. Overall functioning may be improved through developing executor roles for parents, decreasing marital conflict, and reducing symptomology among children. Therapeutic intervention with parents does not mean assuming their role or responsibilities. The Home-Based Services Program further recognizes that each family is part of a larger community system. Intervention cannot proceed in isolation.
