PRN for Families™ provides intensive, in-home crisis intervention, family
assessment, comprehensive planning, follow up, counseling and life-skills
for families who have children or teenagers who are out of control or at
imminent risk of being separated from their family. Families are also
served who require transitional or reunification services to safely
reunite them with their children following an out-of-home placement. Our
goal is to prevent unnecessary out-of-home placement by strengthening
families and teaching them the skills they need to safely live together.
Our mission is to reach out to families in their own homes in order to empower family
members with the tools, resources and support they need to safely stay together. The provision
of these services is available to any eligible child and family system in the United States.
Assessment Phase
The assessment phase of the program is designed as an
initial outreach to the family in order to lay the ground
work, gather information and engage the family in an
ongoing collaborative process of assessing family
strengths, values, and problems. The process typically
evolves over a five or six day period in the family’s
own home. Specific goals and objectives are developed
as a result of this process.
Intervention Phase
The intervention phase of the program is marked by
intensive delivery of services to the family in their own
home. The frequency, length and intensity of these services
is customized based on the family needs assessment and
specific goals, objectives and desired outcomes. Services
may provided directly or through a referral to a local
provider and may include, but are not limited to, any
of the following:
Parenting strategies
Love & Logic curriculum
Communication skills training
Behavior management techniques
Emancipation/life skills training
School interventions
Relapse prevention
Case management
Concrete and advocacy services
Resolution Phase
The resolution phase of the program provides continued
support and resources through means of telephone and
email to help resolve any problems or issues that may
arise following the intervention level of services. During
this phase, families are continually monitored with
respect to their progress, functioning and safety for up
to one year following the intervention. At any time
during this period, families may request supplemental
services, further support or merely reassurance.
Emancipation services are also available for individuals
transitioning into an independent living situation.
