Child and Family Teams
Child and Family Teams are multi-disciplinary teams which include all stakeholders in a child’s life. Each team identifies the family’s strengths and develops an individualized plan to achieve the family’s goals in the context of their home, which allows the child to be treated in the least restrictive environment.

Home-Based Service Programs
Intensive home-based programs work with the entire family to prevent unnecessary out-of home placement of a child. These programs exist in Three Points, Tucson, on the Tohono O’dham Reservation, and in other small communities in Southern Arizona.

Independent Living Program
Open to youth in Child Protective Services custody, ages 13-20, and former foster care youth, age 18-20 years, within Pima County, the Independent Living Program focuses on ensuring individualized transition planning for all youth through a curriculum of individual and group learning experiences.
