Family Stability/Wraparound Services
Cases are presented to the Family Stability Team for community-based services which increase the involvement of parents and maintain children in the least restrictive and safest environment possible. The Family Stability Team reviews requests for individualized supportive and flexible services geared to strengthening families, developing resiliency in children, and keeping children in their own homes.
Presentations include requests for the BRIDGES and ENGAGE programs, and for pro-social activities. A few examples of services which could be funded include: therapeutic horseback riding lessons, music lessons, art lessons, cooking classes, in-home & out-of-home respite, gymnastic lessons, karate lessons, and in-home counseling.
The Family Stability Team meets virtually on Thursdays at 2:00 pm via Zoom. Please contact Tim Kehres at 440-285-1201 or Tim.Kehres@jfs.ohio.gov, to schedule a time to present.
The Family Stability Team also serves as the Emergency Multi-Disciplinary Team to accommodate cases which need to be reviewed in an emergency.
