How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Culturally Affirming Family Strengthening
    methodology: culturally_affirming_family_strengthening
    By grounding services in families' cultural heritage and community strengths, we improve engagement and effectiveness because trust and relevance increase within the Hispanic community.
  • Integrated Behavioral Health in Foster Care
    methodology: integrated-behavioral-health
    By embedding mental health services within foster care through in-house collaboration, we improve child wellness and stability because clinical and familial support are delivered cohesively.
  • Phased, Home-Based Family Engagement
    methodology: phased_home_based_engagement
    By using intensive, home-based support that gradually reduces as families gain stability, we promote self-reliance because families build confidence and skills in their own environment.
  • Primary Prevention Through Early Intervention
    methodology: primary-prevention
    By delivering voluntary, accessible services in schools and communities before crises occur, we promote family stability because early support builds protective factors and prevents escalation.
  • Strength-Based, Family-Centered Prevention
    methodology: strengths_based_approach
    By focusing on family strengths and delivering integrated, home-based support, we prevent child abuse and family disruption because building resilience and self-reliance reduces dependency on crisis systems.
