Foster and Adoption Agency

***Note Family Preservation merged with Carters Circle of Care in May of 2015 Promoted to QP of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) program, June 2016. In my current role as the Qualified Professional of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) program, I develop and implement the daily program, as well as supervise the two AP's, completing their monthly supervision paperwork. I recently developed a 10 week curriculum around the WHAM (Whole Health Action Management) program for the PSR program. My leadership abilities provide me with visionary understanding of why it is important to be a team player; thus, I take direction well and assume full responsibility for accomplishing my assigned tasks. Tasks include counseling consumers, as needed; attending Med Management meetings with the consumers; meeting with consumer guardians, therapist and group home providers and other collateral's to provide progress reports.

I provide Intensive In Home Services to families in the Guilford and Forsyth County Areas. I work with the families trying to meet their needs as best as possible. I work on a team of three to help prevent removal of the child from the home. We provide services to the client, his siblings, parents and anyone else within the family. We are in the home up to 5 days a week. We will go to the schools, daycare and anywhere else the child is having problems to try to help teach the family how to have success at home. In areas where outside help is needed we link and refer them to these other services as needed. A lot of our referrals do come from Guilford County DSS, therefore a lot of our work is to help prevent family disruptions or to help reunify families. I do parent education, work with domestic violence, and help families that have experienced sexual abuse in their families, help with mental illness diagnosis, whatever the need may be. Our agency provides, School Based Services in Forsyth County as well as Intensive In Home Services, and Outpatient Counseling to children and adults. The agency partners with many agencies to help provide the services people need to maintain their families prevent out of home placements, hospitalizations, etc. We work closely with Department of Social Services, Juvenile Courts, Mental Health Agencies, Group homes, private homes and others as needed. We believe every family has a lot of strengths within themselves and with our help and guidance they can become the better at meeting their own needs.
