Major Activities

Activity 2

The outreach program serves approximately 271 families and 300 children/year. The outreach program provides "front-end" intake, enrollment and crisis response for families initially contacting the relief nursery. The approach is strength-based and creative, offering choices and support to families in a compassionate and strength-based manner. A flexible strategy is utilized, providing timely services for families with multiple issues who are seeking support for themselves and their children. Intake workers offer a supportive response and provide information, as needed about the relief nursery and other community resources. In addition to intake, resources, and referrals, the outreach program provides respite care, home visits, and access to other relief nursery services such as family literacy events, mental health and other specialized programs. Outreach workers work with the families to determine if enrollment in the therapeutic early childhood program meets their needs and the needs of their children.

Activity 3

Accessing success provides alcohol and drug recovery support services for approximately 206 families per year who have abuse issues and/or whose lives have been impacted by substance abuse. The unique aspect of accessing success includes peer support interventionists who are in recovery and provide mentoring and support for individual parents, and lead other accessing success activities. Other activities include a "parents for recovery" support group, transportation to and from aa and 12 step meetings, and other activities promoting an alcohol and drug-free life-style. Intake and outreach are the front-end enrollment and crisis response of the relief nusery model. The approach is strength-based and creative, offering choices and support to families in a patient and compassionate manner. A flexible strategy is essential in meeting the needs of families with multiple issues and overcoming the many obstacles interfering with their follow-through.
