Livingston County Parenting
Program
Integrating
three important elements of service delivery, TRI Group offers
parenting solutions that focus on individual and family needs.
| TEACHING |
|
| The
Parenting Education program offers useful information and
strategies to assist parents in developing guidelines for
behavior, defining family values, and learning effective
communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution
skills that help create structure and maintain stability
in their family. Education is key to being a successful
parent. |
| REACHING |
|
| Home
support services are offered to assist parents in developing
reasonable rules for children, being consistent with rewards
and consequences, and helping parents apply what they have
learned in parenting class to their own family situations.
Learning goes beyond the classroom and into the home. |
|
| INVOLVING |
|
| The
Parent Support Group offers an opportunity for parents to
talk about the difficulties and challenges they experience
raising children. Parents learn they are not alone in their
frustration with themselves and their children and not alone
in having learned destructive ways of handling situations
that arise during crisis and instability in the family. Through
our network of group support, parents can talk with each other
when feeling uncertain about what to do or how to change to
create healthy family behavior. Parents who feel supported
by others with similar challenges are more likely to attain
their parenting goals. |
| CLINICAL SERVICES: |
|
|
|
As
needed, clients can receive individual and family therapeutic
services from TRI Group's Licensed Clinical Social Workers
to address issues impacting their ability to appropriately
parent their children.
|
| HOME SUPPORT: |
|
| Clients
are assigned a Home Support Worker who visits them weekly
in their home. The Home Support Worker's role is to assist
parents in developing reasonable rules, helping parents be
consistent and follow through with rewards and consequences,
and helping parents generalize at home the theories and concepts
they have learned in TRI Group's parenting education classes. |
| INTENSIVE FAMILY THERAPY: |
|
| A
short-term, time limited program working with Livingston County
at-risk youth and their families to reduce the likelihood
of an out-of-home placement or to assist families in transitioning
their child back into the home after an out-of-home placement.
Referrals to the TRI Program's IFT services are processed
through the Youth Assessment Committee (YAC). |

training to teach the family how to communicate effectively
and problem-solve together.
