Prevention Services

Program Description

The focus of the Family and Community Services Program is to keep families together safely through prevention and aftercare services. Intensive short term in-home crisis intervention services are provided to families who are working with Edgewood which include case management, individual and family therapy, teaching budgeting, communication, parenting, and conflict resolution skills. Many of the children served through this program are emotionally disturbed, or have needs that can be met through the short-term crisis intervention services. Edgewood therapists work with families to help them identify problems and goals and to teach them to get along with each other.
