Project FOCUS (For Our Children's Ultimate Success)
|
Project FOCUS is a full service partnership/wraparound program, which provides case management, counseling, and other supportive resources for children, TAY, and their families. The goal of Project FOCUS is to do “whatever it takes” to support a young person in their recovery and to ensure they stay in their homes and communities. Our members are involved in every step of their care plan and work in partnership with the program and resources to set recovery goals based upon their strengths, needs, and desire.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Project FOCUS also provides PCIT services. PCIT works with parents and children together to improve the quality of the parent-child relationship and to teach parents the skills necessary to manage their child’s severe behavior problems. PCIT is proven effective by over 100 research studies.
There are two parts to PCIT. In the first part, Relationship Enhancement, therapists coach parents to increase positive and supportive communication with their child. The second part, Strategies to Improve Compliance, teaches effective child-management skills. Parents learn and practice specific skills during therapy until they master them and their children’s behavior improves.
