The intent is for services to provide an integrated, intensive in-home parenting skills program used to safely prevent children from entering out-of-home care or to reunify them with family as quickly as possible if a period of out-of-home care is necessary (this includes, but is not limited to, foster care, residential treatment, or group home settings). Services will last four (4) to nine (9) months depending on referral type (typically, four to six months for prevention or six to nine months for reunification). Intercept Specialists work with both the child and the caregivers to address issues impacting the stability of the family, meeting an average of three times weekly in the home or community, depending on family need, and providing twenty-four (24) hour on-call crisis support.
