Services:

Success Coach Service is a voluntary service that provides skill building, crisis prevention, and intervention with families in the home. A Success Coach works in partnership with the family to develop goals to increase protective factors, decrease risk factors, and promote long-term wellbeing outcomes of children. The Success Coach Service utilizes research-based techniques, including motivational interviewing and various strategies to help build on family strengths. This service is available to families for up to two years.

What is a Success Coach?:

A Success Coach aims to strengthen the permanent placement of children and decrease the potential for future safety concerns or out-of-home placement. The Success Coach will use structured assessment tools to assist the family in assessing their child('s) needs and choosing goals, which will be worked on throughout the case. The interventions used with families depend on the area of need, often including therapeutic components, skill building, crisis prevention/ intervention, case management, and advocacy. Face-to-face time is determined by the family’s needs and agreed upon by the family, as well as where visits will occur.
