Additional Information
The purpose of the program is to empower families to provide adequate safe care for at-risk children by identifying their strengths, assisting them with finding solutions, promoting family strengths, stability, parental functions and supporting self-reliance through short-term family supportive services, intensive family services or in-home services.
Children and Family Services accepts referrals from other Choctaw tribal programs and facilities, state agencies, public referrals and voluntary referrals. Once a case is found appropriate for the Family Preservation Program’s services, the client/family will be contacted to assess family conditions and services needed to maintain the family unit.
