FAMILY PRESERVATION
Family Preservation Services
Camelot provides family preservation services in select Department of Children's Services regions. These services are offered to help strengthen families and create safer communities through education, early intervention, community partnerships, and resource linkage. Camelot works to preserve families by meeting the families where they are and engaging them in a process to improve their family relationships and supports.
Family Support Services
Camelot’s Family Support Service is focused on each family’s individual needs and promotes sustainable solutions. Services include, but are not limited to, parenting skills, advocacy, crisis management, anger management, stress reduction, conflict resolution, and other services not covered by TennCare.
Family Visitation Services
Family visitation services are designed to provide a safe space for parents to learn and practice new parenting skills, demonstrate their ability to be nurturing with their children, and support safe and healthy parent-child relationships. This service is for children who have not been placed with a therapeutic foster care agency.
Family Violence Intervention Services
Family violence intervention services are provided to families who need support in working through domestic violence while still intact or as they transition out of the relationship. Camelot works to build supports, provide education around the effects of domestic violence on everyone in the household, encourage families to find the safest solution for themselves and their children, and become self-sufficient. This service focuses on developing the capacity to maintain a violence-free lifestyle for all family members.
More Information
