(Program)

* Provides five programs:

The Family Reunification Program focuses on shortening the length of stay of out-of-home placement for identified “at-risk” youth in Herkimer County.
Return Home Early Program: Herkimer County children in residential placement care are assessed for their readiness and appropriateness to return home before their court-ordered expiration date.
Intensive Preventive Program: designed to work with the highest intensity DSS families with at least one child at risk of placement outside the home due to PINS/JD issues or neglect/abuse in the home.
Service Provision for Individual Needs (SPIN): referrals are made for single “a la carte” services to complement other preventive services already working with the family.
