Program areas at COBYS Family Services
The foster care program provides care for children from birth up to the age of 21. When children are unable to live with their biological Family due to abuse, neglect or behavioral problems, the organization provides comprehensive Services through identified resource parents and professionals who can adequately meet a child's needs. The organization works with children, birth/legal families, kinship resources and county- designated return resources to establish permanency, which may include reunification or adoption.
In partnership with the lancaster county children and youth social service agency, the Cobys permanency unit provides case management Services to children in the legal custody of lancaster county children and youth, with the emphasis on safety, permanency and wellbeing. The unit works directly with birth families on their court ordered goals. If it is decided that a a child cannot be safely reunified with their birth Family, an alternative, permanent placement will be established.
Cobys Family Services facilitates state-subsidized adoption of foster children through the statewide adoption and permanency network (swan).
Counseling and Family life education are provided.
