FOSTER CARE PREVENTION PROGRAM
201 Duane Avenue, Schenectady, NY 12307 • 374-9371 x117

Key Benefits

The Carver Foster Care Prevention Program was introduced to the community in October 1990. The program strives to remove the risk of harm from the family rather than removing the child. By focusing on the family as a unit, parents are supported in their striving to plan responsibly for their children. The teaching power of the Carver Foster Care Prevention Program combined with parent power, adds up to a tremendous force—a force that can initiate change and prevent child abuse and maltreatment. The mission of the program is to enhance the parent’s role by strengthening the parent—child relationship.

Services are provided by Masters-level clinicians and conducted from a strength based perspective. Services are home-based for family convenience, and at the office upon request. Services address the following areas of concern:

• Anger Management
• Stress Management
• Communication Skills
• Parenting Skills
• Childhood Development Education
• Safety Education
• Domestic Violence Issues (self-esteem, assertiveness, etc.)
• Mental Health Issues
• Hygiene and Household Maintenance
• Family Interactions
• Behavior Management
• Appropriate Expression of Feelings
• Coping Skills
• Impulse Control
• Social Skills Training
• Peer Relations
• Problem Solving
• Decision Making
• Court and Legal Advocacy and Support
• Crisis Intervention Services

Families are referred to the program by Schenectady County DSS, Schenectady City School District, Schenectady County Court System, Carver Community Center internal programs, local health care providers, family and children service agencies, other public/private organizations, as well as private self referrals.
 
The program also serves as a Teaching Organization to local college and University students in pursuit of a Master’s Degree in Social Work or related areas of study.
 
The Enhanced Services Program (case management and outreach services) is an extension of the Foster Care Prevention Program. It is set up to meet the concrete needs of those families already receiving preventative services.
