Family Intervention Services

Inspiritus supports and assists children and families by providing services that focus on strengthening families. Family Intervention Services (FIS) is part of Inspiritus’ Continuum of Service model.

Our Atlanta Programs

A+ PARENTS PROGRAM

Lutheran-Services-of-Georgia-A-Parents-Program-Thumbnail

The A+ Parents Program focuses on strengthening families by providing a continuum of services from parenting education for all parents of young children to more intensive services for families at risk for intervention. Evidenced-based parenting programs are offered for families raising children with typical age appropriate behaviors and children with more severe behavioral issues, developmental delays, and medical needs. For families at risk of coming to the attention of the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), the A+ Parenting Program focuses on preventing family issues from escalating to the point of requiring Child Protective Services (CPS) intervention and/or out-of-home placements.

We cater our program to meet the needs of families through training.

 

  • In-home nursing education

  • In-home parenting

  • Family life skills

Our training includes:

  • Co-parenting/healthy marriage/healthy relationship workshops

  • Center-based parenting groups

  • In-home counseling

POST-REUNIFICATION FOLLOW-UP SERVICES 

FIS also collaborates with Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) to provide family reunification follow-up services for unaccompanied minors who have recently migrated to the United States.

Our Savannah Programs

TRIPLE P - POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM

Lutheran-Services-of-Georgia-Supervised-Family-Visitation-Thumbnail

Inspiritus provides individual and group parenting sessions using the Triple P curriculum in the community, home or in our office. The program serves families whose children are 2-12 years old and focuses on identifying positive strategies for dealing with problematic child behaviors, developing new stress management skills, and discussing child development.

“The Triple P ®—Positive Parenting Program is a parenting and family support system designed to prevent—as well as treat—behavioral and emotional problems in children and teenagers. It aims to prevent problems in the family, school, and community before they arise and to create family environments that encourage children to realize their potential.” (www.triplep.parenting.net)

GREAT START GEORGIA/HEALTHY FAMILIES

In partnership with Great Start Georgia (GSG), Lutheran Services of Georgia in Savannah offers support services for parents, available from their pregnancy through their child’s first five years. GSG’s First Steps and Healthy Families provide encouragement and education to parents and work to connect them with valuable resources. First Steps and Healthy Families are available at no cost to families who live in either Chatham or Liberty counties, and are completely voluntary.

First Steps works with parents of children under the age of five to help them cope with family stress, to understand child development, and to provide support in multiple areas by connecting them with community resources and supports. First Steps families may be offered additional support and services through Healthy Families, our in-home support program.

Healthy Families offers weekly support to families in the convenience of their own homes around family schedules. Services start either during pregnancy or immediately following birth and can continue until the child is five years old.

 

PARENTING GROUPS

Inspiritus offers regular parenting classes which utilize the Nurturing Parenting Curriculum. These groups last for 10 weeks and meet on a weekly basis for 2 hours. Payment is determined on a sliding fee scale determined by income. If you need more information about these classes or any of the programs in Family Intervention Services, please call the office directly.

 

Other Services

Additionally, Inspiritus partners with DFCS to offer other additional services:

  • Prevention of Out of Home Placement (PUP)

  • Home Study Preparation

  • Relative Home Evaluations

  • Comprehensive Child and Family Assessments (CCFA)

  • Wrap Around (WA)

  • Homestead

  • Parent Aide

 

Referral Sources

We receive referrals from the sources listed below. 

  • Family Court

  • DFCS

  • Child Support Enforcement

  • Self referral

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are a very important part of our Family Intervention Services program. Whether expanding awareness of our program, working directly with families, providing in-kind services, or assisting with the transportation needs of our clients, volunteers have a vital role to play. If you are interested in volunteering, please take a look at our volunteer opportunities or contact us here.

Funding

The Inspiritus Family Intervention Services program receives funding from the Department of Human Services, Promoting Safe and Stable Families, Division of Family and Children Services, LIRS, United Way Coastal Empire, Georgia State University, and many more which enables us to help families in need. Funding also provided in part by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners under the guidance of the Department of Housing and Community Development CSP Program.

FIS success is measured by the following outcomes:

1) Children are, first and foremost, protected from abuse and neglect and safely maintained in their homes whenever possible.
2) Children have permanency and stability in their living situations.
3) Families have enhanced capacity to provide for their children’s needs.
