Keeping Families TogetherThe Keeping Families Together Community Programs provide an array of in-home, in-school, and in-community counseling and support services, frequently called wrap-around services, to help troubled children and their families. The treatment team includes the family as equal partners in the helping process and strategies are highly individualized based on the strengths and the needs of the family as individuals and as a unit. Helping the family develop and utilize natural support systems is a core goal of all services. The focus of these programs includes prevention, after-care, reunification, and family revitalization. One of the things that make the CHRIS Kids Keeping Families Together program unique is that we go beyond counseling to help families create a stable and supportive living environment. Based on their individual situations, we may help families with such things as securing appropriate and affordable housing and, with the help of our donors provide items that range from hot water heaters, washing machines and dryers, to school supplies and holiday gifts. The CHRIS Kids Keeping Families Together Prevention and Aftercare Programs offer children and families a unique, flexible treatment and support partnership in their own homes, schools and communities. Identifying and developing strengths, resources and natural support systems create positive family relationships, promote self-sufficiency and help build safer and stronger communities. The Behavior Aide Program provides one-on-one support from trained childcare workers to children having extreme difficulties. Behavior aides work in a child’s home, school and community with each child in accordance with the treatment plan to help them learn responsible behavior, develop self-esteem and succeed. Camp CHRIS (the camp
you can’t get kicked out of) is a nine-week summer day camp
for children with emotional and behavioral problems. The children
who attend Camp CHRIS are unable to attend other camps due to their
behavioral challenges. Camp CHRIS is designed to ensure success
for children who have experienced failure. It also helps the parents
maintain employment without fear for the safety and welfare of their
children.
