Orchards offers a number of programs designed to shorten
lengths of stay in foster care, or completely avoid a painful
separation. Orchards' Child and Family Workers go directly
into the homes of reunited or at-risk families to provide
requisite monitoring and counseling.
Families Together Building Solutions - Works to alter
inappropriate and unhealthy parental behavior in order to
eliminate the need for the removal of their children.
Families First - Works to prevent children from entering the
foster care system by providing counseling and many other
support services to at-risk families.
Family Group Decision Making - Helps the family mobilize
their support system and empowers them to create their own
strategy to ensure their children are cared for safely.
Family Reunification - Designed to prevent repeated
out-of-home placements and more quickly reunify children with
their families when out-of-home placement has occurred.
The Family Reunification model utilizes intensive home-based
services to achieve these goals.
Juvenile Justice Diversion Reintegration Alternatives - JJDRA
is a required home-based service, designed to support
adjudicated delinquents as they transition back into the
community. Staff provide intensive family treatment,
face-to-face mentor/surveillance contracts and use a level
system to reinforce treatment goals.
Removal Prevention Early Return
- The purpose of RPER is to prevent removals or out of home
placements from occurring by educating, supporting and
strengthening families. RPER also assists in the early
return of children with their parents by preparing the families
for reunification.
Wraparound Services - Creatively tailors programs and support
services to meet the specific needs of troubled children so they
can avoid hospitalization and remain with their families.
