- Improving Mental Health
-
Family Services strives to improve the mental health and overall well-being of all clients. Many clients come to Highbridge because they want to better their lives and their families. The program believes that clients are the experts of their own life, meaning that a client knows what is best for them.
Family Services will walk the road with clients to help them to learn, grow, and discover their potential.
- Strengthening Family Functioning
-
Family Services works with families to create respectful, responsible, and caring interpersonal relationships. The program helps families develop the art of communication, problem solving, negotiating, and decision-making.
Functional families are able to use these skills in order to break down difficult dilemmas into manageable pieces.
- Promoting Healthy Youth
-
Youth deserve the opportunity to grow up in a nurturing home and community. Family Services provides at-risk families the intensive services that they need in order to keep their children safe and families together.
Family Services offers youth individual and group counseling that can help them develop positive social skills, behaviors, and relationships.
- Increasing Support Networks
-
Families do well when their loved ones and community support them. Family Services helps families connect to friends, relatives, support groups, social services, schools, religious institutions and other community agencies. Family Services brings groups of people together for support and social celebrations.
Often, when families in the program meets others who are experiencing similar issues, it helps them feel that they are not alone.
