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.
- Comprehensive Support for Transitioning Youthmethodology: two_generation_approachBy addressing interconnected needs in housing, education, employment, health, and financial stability, this strategy promotes family stability among expectant and parenting youth in foster care because holistic support during the transition to independence reduces systemic vulnerability and prevents family disruption.
- Strengths-Based and Family-Values-Focused Caremethodology: strengths_based_family_careBy centering family strengths and intrinsic cultural values, this approach aims to preserve family stability and prevent foster care re-entry because affirming family identity and capability builds resilience and self-efficacy in young parents.
- Trauma-Informed Family Strengtheningmethodology: trauma_informed_careBy recognizing and addressing the impacts of trauma, family separation, and systemic instability, this strategy improves mental health and relational outcomes among young parents because integrating mental health and care coordination reduces crisis escalation and child welfare involvement.
