Скачать или смотреть Understanding AFS’s Community-Based Services Model for Supporting Youth and Families

Video Script:
Here at Alternative Family Services, we use a community-based services model as one option to support the varying needs of the youth and families we work with throughout northern California. Let’s explore the meaning of community-based services and why we utilize this approach as one of our therapeutic models.

Depending on the AFS services a client is receiving, AFS staff members (mental health clinicians, social workers, etc.) may choose to meet with youth and families at a resource or biological family home, within a school-based setting, or a convenient location in the community such as a park. These locations are considered “community-based,” which differs from a clinical or office setting.

Here at AFS, we view community-based services as a key component to a strength-based intervention.

Although AFS staff frequently travel to different homes throughout our Northern California locations, it has been demonstrated that community-based care provides increased success rates of healing trauma and keeping families together. This approach ensures AFS provides more effective and more holistic services to the youth and families we work with every day.
