Nurturing Parenting
Family reunification is a process filled with vision, hope, fears and uncertainty for both parents and children. At Parenting Matters, we are dedicated to supporting this journey through our Family Reunification Supervised Visitation, Parent Coaching, and Parent Education services.
We utilize the Nurturing Parenting Program a family-centered and trauma-informed initiative. This program is specifically designed to help parents build essential nurturing parenting skills and can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the family. It is an evidence-based program that has consistently helped families develop or enhance their parenting skills, significantly assisting in the reunification process.
About
Family reunification services are designed to support the process of returning or reuniting children to their families of origin after a period of separation, foster care, or other out-of-home placements. In Virginia, the primary goal for children in foster care is reunification with their primary caregivers, as children generally thrive when raised in their own families whenever possible.
These services also apply when a parent has been absent for an extended period or has never met their child and wishes to establish that relationship. The reunification process involves a collaborative team of service providers who offer tailored support. This includes developing individualized curriculum based parenting plan, providing psycho-educational services, and facilitating meaningful and child focused interactions among all involved parties, such as parents, guardians, children, and relatives.
Following intake and assessments an individualized intensive parent education program, along with personalized Parental Support services is designed for each family. Service plans with specific goals and objectives guide the client toward safe and healthy family visits.
