A long term, home visiting program for parents or caregivers residing in Dallas, Madison, Warren, Marion, or Jasper Counties with a child aged prenatal to three. The PAT Program provides family support, parenting education, developmental screening and connection to community resources. The program provides twice monthly home visits to families, always bringing a parent/child activity that will encourage the child's development. The goal of the program is to assist parents in practicing development centered parenting so that their child is healthy, ready to learn and succeed.

Family Support Services specialists provide in-home and community educational and support services to assist with parenting and home management problems that place children at risk of abuse or neglect.

Intensive Family Preservation is a response to a family crisis that may, without intervention, result in the removal of children from the home. Services are varied but may include help with parenting strategies, relationship issues, communication skills, anger management, school problems, behavior problems, and life skills.

Parenting Time services are provided to children who have been removed from their biological family's home and are now allowed supervised visits with a member of their biological family. Activities include teaching or modeling parenting skills, reinforcing behavioral management skills and teaching coping skills. Specialists help families strengthen bonds by identifying issues that affect the family's relationships by observing and assessing visits. Specialists also provide information to assist with permanency plans for the child.

Family Support helps build families through strength-based activities such as developing appropriate social skills, teaching parenting and nurturing, creating family bonding, teaching awareness of boundaries, developing self esteem, seeking community resources, seeking employment, and teaching home economics.
