Preventive services are provided to help families thrive and stay together safely.
Pregnancy In-Home Services and Home Visitation Services:
We partner with Lutheran Family and Children’s Services in St. Louis, Southeast Missouri, and Kansas City to provide in-home services to pregnant women and their families. We utilize a curriculum that is designed to support parents in raising their children in a safe, nurturing environment. Our goal is to help break cycles of abuse/neglect as well as support in helping families who are living in impoverished situations.
Drop-In Center for Teens:
We provide a center at our Lowe-Frillman Campus to assist unhoused teens with everyday living needs such as a place to shower, to do laundry, to eat and just to “hang out.” We also assist these teens and their families with resources needed to find housing. Our goal is to assist teens and their families to stay together and out of the child welfare system whenever possible.
Stronger Family Services (SFS):
This is our newest program coming in the Spring of 2025! This program will provide time-limited support (up to 90 days) and services to children and families in the St. Louis area that are experiencing factors or situations that put them at risk for separation. A range of preventive services, from further upstream family preservation and stabilization to more intensive family preservation services can be provided by the SFS program.
