Community Based Family Services Program


In the Home, School, and Community

Community Based Family Services provides a broad continuum of service options for clients in the home, school, and community.  Service is focused on a structural / strategic family therapy approach that has evolved from various scholars within the counseling field.

Goals of OI Community Based Family Services Program

  • Empower families and youth to manage change, conflict, and crisis which ultimately results in family stabilization and reduces the need for out of home placement back into the family, school, and community.
  • Facilitate the family reunification process to enhance the successful transition of clients returning from out of home placement back into the family, school, and community.
  • Connect families and youth with community support services to promote independence and growth.

Levels of Services

Community Based Family Services provides two levels of service, Family Support and Family Therapy.  Both services are designed to strengthen families.

Family Support and Family Therapy may be provided in coordination with the Pathway to Recovery and New Path Residential Programs, as well as with the Guided Path Weekend Supervision Program.
