Serving Children and Families
Every child belongs in a nurturing, protective family. For many children who have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect, and even violence in the home, removal is the only means to ensure their safety. In many cases, however, early intervention with a child’s biological parents can better equip them to provide a safe, caring environment at home. At Volunteers of America we offer intensive, therapeutic preventive services to parents and children within their homes that includes teaching life skills and parenting techniques, addressing mental health and addiction problems, improving conflict resolution, and more. As parents work to keep or regain custody of their children, our aim is to help keep these families together whenever possible.
