Community Services
Services with a community focus for foster families facing difficult challenges
The Systems
of Care program (SOC), which grew out of the original
“Satellite
Care,” is one of the oldest and largest family-based
programs. It
has been nationally recognized as the model for working with families
facing unique emotional and mental challenges.
Each year, state and
other foster care agencies refer over 300 children for services to
Kaleidoscope for intensive assessment and intervention services
intended to strengthen the foster family unit or reunite foster
children with their birth families.
SOC
remains flexible in order to build on the strengths of each child,
family and community to develop an array of short-term, individualized
services. Community resources are the first source of intervention
accessed to address any behavioral, emotional and physical needs of the
child. SOC teams provide community-focused care that includes the family’s primary caseworker and other individuals that have a significant role in the lives of the child and his or her family.
