When individual families understand their problems and themselves
better, their lives can change. Working with highly trained, experienced
mental health specialists, the people we serve develop that understanding and
improve their coping skills.
Service Coordination Programs
Child & Family Services coordinates intensive multi-agency,
at-home support for families with children at risk for out-of-home placement.
Haven House
Since 1979, Child & Family Services Haven House has provided safe, confidential
services for victims of domestic violence. A broad range of residential and non-residential
services help victims interrupt the cycle of abuse and create lives free from violence.
Haven House provides victims with the resources needed to rebuild their lives, and
children are taught skills to cope with family crises and learn non-violent forms
of conflict resolution.
Restorative Justice Programs
Restorative Justice philosophy represents a very different lens to view, understand
and respond to crime and victimization. It is a new way of thinking about how a
community can respond to crime. It holds offenders accountable and places emphasis
on repairing the harm done to the victim and the community.
Dispute Mediation/Arbitration Programs
Child & Family Services Center for Resolution & Justice offers
mediation and arbitration services for parties involved in community disputes which
often include neighbors, families and friends. The Center offers a total of nine

under the auspice of the Better Business Bureau.

family-based treatment and counseling, therapeutic foster care for severely
