THE PROGRAM FOLLOWS AN EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL THAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING THAT PARENTAL RESOURCE BY AS MUCH AS THREE TIMES. THE MODEL HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A NET COST SAVINGS TO THE COMMUNITY, AS THE PROGRAM REDUCES CONGREGATE CARE AND FOSTER CARE COSTS.

THE FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM IS GEARED TOWARD EDUCATION, SUPPORT AND COACHING. HANDS-ON, INDIVIDUALIZED, TAILORED SUPPORTIVE SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE ADOPTION JOURNEY. BY DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES EARLY, FAMILY COMMITMENT TO ADOPTION IS MAINTAINED AND ADOPTION DISRUPTIONS ARE OFTEN MINIMIZED.CLASSES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES ARE OFFERED TO FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS AND ARE GEARED TOWARD PROVIDING INFORMATION, SUPPORT, AND GUIDANCE IN CREATING HEALTHY, STABLE ADOPTIVE RELATIONSHIPS. ALL CHILDREN HAVE ENTERED THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF TRAUMA, ABUSE, OR NEGLECT. THE GOAL OF MANY TRAININGS IS TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND HOW THESE EVENTS MAY IMPACT CHILDREN AND TO RECOGNIZE BEHAVIORS AS SYMPTOMS OF THOSE EXPERIENCES. THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME FOR MANY OF THE TRAINING COURSES IS FOR FAMILIES TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN BECOME SECURELY ATTACHED, SUCCESSFUL, AND HEALTHY ADULTS.
