Intercept®, developed by Youth Villages, is a trauma-informed, evidenced-based intensive in-home parenting skills program used to safely prevent children from entering out-of-home care or to reunify them with family as quickly as possible if a period of out-of-home care was required (this includes, but is not limited to, foster care, residential treatment, or group home settings).
Intercept is appropriate for families with multifaceted challenges and their children, ages birth to 17. Children helped by the program have experienced trauma/neglect or have significant emotional or behavioral conditions. Services typically last four to nine months (four to six months for prevention or six to nine months for reunification).
Family Intervention Specialists work with both the child and the caregivers to address issues impacting the stability of the family, meeting an average of three times weekly in the home or community, depending on family need. Intercept provides a 24-hour crisis support line.Â
- Prevent duplication of services
- Avoid potential conflicts between treatments
- Experience a more seamless and coordinated solution
Collaborative Care for Lasting Change
Family Intervention Specialists work in all the areas that surround the child – family, school, peer group, neighborhood – providing evidence-based and research informed interventions. Following a detailed case conceptualization process, Family Intervention Specialists collaborate with other providers, schools, case workers, courts, and other community supports to formulate individualized treatment plans.
