Family Intervention Program

 

The goal of LSF's Family Intervention Program is to keep families intact. Families with infants, young children, and troubled adolescents are referred to LSF by Childnet and the Broward Sheriff's office due to allegations of abuse or neglect.

Master's level professionals and trained staff provide a full range of services including:

  • In-Home Counseling

  • Case Management

  • Family Reunification

  • Teaching Parenting Skills

  • Crisis Intervention/Referrals to Community Resources

  • Available 24 Hours Every Day

  • Follow-up Services for One Year

The LSF Family Intervention Program has been instrumental in stopping the cycle of abuse for many families. Recent studies show that 83% of the families participating in Family Intervention have no recurrence of abuse after one year.

Counseling and case management services assist participating families by providing them with the skills, information, and support necessary to solve their problems and build nurturing home environments promoting healthy children.

LSF helps adolescents stay alive and out of the juvenile justice system through its prevention and intervention activities. Recent studies have shown an 82% success rate of youth returning home to their families to rebuild their lives following their stay at LSF shelters. In addition to providing temporary shelter, counseling, and case management services, LSF is also a designated SAFE PLACE agency and, as such, serves as a partner with local businesses and schools to help youth in trouble. Project SAFE PLACE is a national network of voluntary community sites where youth in need of help can go for safe refuge. LSF is the designated SAFE PLACE provider in areas with LSF shelters.
