Family Reunification Program

Families referred to the Family Reunification Program are families who have children in out of home placement due to state custody.  The goal of the Family Reunification Program is to prepare parents to safely reunify with their children.

Families will be assigned to a Family Services Worker (FSW), and will participate in an initial intake appointment.  After the initial intake, the family and the FSW will begin the North Carolina Family Assessment Scale for Reunification (NCFAS-R). This assessment will identify strengths and areas in need of improvement.  Families and their FSW will identify specific goals to facilitate reunification of the children with the family.  An Initial Service Plan will be developed to outline these goals.

After completing the intake, a Supervised Visit schedule will be developed between the FSW, the family, and the OCS worker.  Along with Supervised Visits, families will be required to participate in skill building and support activities as well as periodic Home Visits, as appropriate.

The Family Reunification Program also provides parenting education.  Parents and the FSW will work together to determine topics on which the parent education will focus.  This service is individualized for every family. The FSW will provide resources, education, modeling, and other forms of education in order to assist the family in meeting their goals.
