Family Stabilization Program Melanie Galloway, MSW Family Services Program Manger Hampton Department of Social Services Hampton,VA
HAMPTON SOCIAL SERVICES FAMILY STABILIZATION PROGRAM The purpose of the Family Stabilization Program is to help the Hampton Court Services Unit address family instability issues at all stages (juvenile intake, court hearings, probation, and parole) of the system, and to offer effective community based service options, which are designed to keep the family intact, and reduce the need for out of home placements (Respite, Detention, Commitment, Foster Care)
! ! ! ! ! !
! !
Keeping children and families together is the best possible use of resources. Hampton CPMT and FAPT partner with all who can support children and families’ successful outcomes. We begin with outcomes not process. Families are the experts about their families. All stakeholder groups are accountable for positive outcomes for children and their families at home, school and in the community. Child centered, family focused and community based service delivery is the law in Virginia and must be implemented through new practice models. Do whatever it takes to support the success of children and families. Trying hard is not good enough. Trying hard Is Not Good Enough by mark Friedman - 2005
NEED FOR FAMILY STABILIZATION SERVICES !
Families come to Court Services Intake and the parent(s) do not want or refused to allow the child to return home.
!
Juveniles on probation/parole with significant and persistent family turmoil/instability issues that place the juvenile at risk for out of home placement.
!
Parents wanting to charge their child with various offenses in order to have them removed from the home.
!
Loss of Hampton Less Secure Facility in 2008 placed some juveniles at greater risk placement in secure detention.
!
Youth in secure detention for family related charges who could be maintained in community if respite services were available.
Family Stabilization ! Was
created by Social Services for the Court Services Unit to have crisis stabilization ! It is a voluntary program ! Family engagement is a vital

Family Stabilization ! Hampton
CSU utilizes JDAI Core
strategies ! Family Stabilization position was initially funded by the CSU utilizing JDAI initatives ◦ Position is housed at Social Services ! Money
was saved as youth were not entering secure detention facility ! Currently Social Services fully funds the position
Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) ! Passed
in 1992 by General Assembly with the intention of creating a collaborative system of services and funding that is child-centered, family focused and community based when addressing the strengths and needs of troubled and atrisk youth and families in Virginia
Comprehensive Services Act ! Funds
were “pooled” from the Dept. of Social Services, the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Juvenile Justice and the Dept. of Mental Health
CSA Purpose of the law was to ensure services and funding are consistent with the policies of preserving families and providing appropriate services in the least restrictive environment, while protecting the welfare of children and maintaining the safety of the public ! To identify and intervene early with young children and their families who are at risk of developing emotional, behavioral problems, or both due to environmental, physical or psychological stress !
Family Stabilization
! No
wrong door to receive services ! Collaboration between Social Services and Court Services is imperative ! Family engagement is key
