Project Permanence, a family-centered Wraparound program is designed to facilitate permanency for every referred youth. With a commitment to unconditional care, Project Permanence empowers families toward permanency by providing comprehensive, short-term, intensive services designed to connect the family to natural supports within the community.
Services are designed to be short-term (6-12 months), individualized and intensive, and are focused on assisting youth and their families achieve independence. Treatment is focused on removing the barriers to permanency specific to each family and child, providing Wraparound services that are based in the family’s community, utilizing natural supports and other community-based interventions. The goals of Project Permanence are to:
- Transition youth from group to family care
- Remove mental health barriers to permanence
- Improve each family’s ability to support the mental health needs of their child
- Increase each family’s access to a network of formal and informal support
Each family is assigned a Parent Partner, Family Specialist and Community Liaison who will work with them throughout their stay in the program. Services begin with a strength-discovery session that will identify each family’s supports, strengths and needs.
In this model, all team members participate as full and active partners joining together with unconditional commitment to the child. The team, consisting of the youth and those important to him, will join together to design creative services in accordance with the youth and family’s strengths, needs and existing resources, and attending to cultural and ethnic diversity issues.
