Family Preservation
Family Preservation in Nebraska
We provide this service throughout the state of Nebraska. Our goal is to keep children in the home through in-home family therapy and the services of a skill builder that helps develop new skills. We also provide services for children and families who need extra coaching and support in their parenting skills.
Offering Hope to Families in Crisis
Saint Francis, in collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, offers a comprehensive support system for families in crisis. Each family’s journey with Saint Francis begins with a personalized assessment to understand their unique needs. This crucial step helps in identifying the family’s specific priorities, concerns, and characteristics, ensuring that the support provided is tailored to keep children safely in their homes.
Upon successful referral, Saint Francis assigns each family a specialized Preservation Team, comprising a therapist and a family skill builder. This team plays a pivotal role in guiding the family through their challenges. To enhance the support system, families are also provided with:
- Direct contact information to reach their Preservation Team 24/7.
- A commitment to 15-minute response times, ensuring prompt assistance whenever needed.
- Access to local offices for in-person meetings with Saint Francis staff, fostering a closer, more personal connection.
Family Centered Treatment®
Family Centered Treatment® is an integral part of our family preservation program that keeps families together by helping them develop the solutions and skills they need to reduce risks in everyday situations.
We partner with families to identify and build upon their existing strengths so they can provide for the health and security of their children.
Family Centered Treatment® enables clinicians to directly observe families where members are most comfortable – at home. Interacting with family members within their “natural” setting makes it possible to directly intervene in unhealthy behaviors and to immediately reinforce positive, healthy life choices.
