Behavioral Health & Clinical Services

The Support & Stabilization (S&S) and Social Connections & Permanency Support (SCPS) programs are community outreach initiatives by the Osiris Family Institute in partnership with DCF (Department of Children & Families), which offer Intensive Family Intervention and Parent Aid services.

 

Our in-home program is culturally competent and specifically designed to assist families requiring assistance in parenting and home management. It ensures tailored support for each family’s unique needs.

Our area of specialization is our ability to relate to the shared knowledge and values of Black and Latino societies and urban issues and paradigms. We employ a team approach to support the families we serve. 

 

Our family teams include a Clinician (team leader) and a Therapeutic Mentor. Our team members speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian, and Cape Verdean Creole. We’ve made a special effort to recruit team members who reside in the communities mentioned so they can respond to any emergency within the hour.

 

Coverage options range from Sunday to Sunday for three months to year-round comprehensive services. The Osiris Family Institute assures your client’s privacy and family stability. We hope that you and your clinical team will consider the Osiris Family Institute when recommending S&S services for clients who are being reunited with their families and community.

Our S&S team collaborates with DCF to support biological and foster families to prevent out-of-home placement and support the families’ reunification. We meet with families three times a week for as long as necessary.

 

Services can include: 

• Strengthening family relationships 
• Providing support for parents/caretakers to improve safety
• Preparing for reunification
• Support for youth around improving relationships
• Parent training assistance
• Assistance in navigating other public systems such as the courts, schools, immigration and mental health services
• Support around empowerment and self-advocacy
• Connections and referrals to long-term services or building natural supports.

Frequently, the families we assist find themselves grappling with financial, emotional, and social burdens. Within our Support & Stabilization (S&S) program, our dedicated team collaborates with parents, offering guidance to address these hurdles and cultivate a nurturing and secure family atmosphere.
