Family Homes Services is a family style, community-based residential program that can serve six to seven males or females, ages 10 to 17. Married couples called Family Teachers are the primary treatment agents, along with full-time Assistant Family Teachers. Family Teachers are responsible for structured supervision of youth in daily living and treatment activities. The couple and their assistant work on both treatment and skill building in the home and with community and family resources in the childs life. A major focus of this program is teaching youth how to build healthy relationships and pro-social skills. Older youth also focus on developing functional skills - often referred to as independent-living skills that can help them achieve success in school, their families, and work settings.
