Father Flanagans Boys Home

In-Home Family Services has trained family consultants to work with families that are struggling to stay together or are in danger of having a child removed from the home. No matter what the underlying cause - economic hardship, substance abuse, marital issues, family conflicts, health challenges, or others - the goal is to keep children in the home, or to reunify them with their family if they have been removed from their home. Consultants work right in the parents home, helping them to improve parenting skills, create a safe, nurturing home for children, and use resources in the community to solve problems on their own. Consultants are on call 24/7 to provide support and assistance. Common Sense Parenting CSP for toddlers and preschoolers is a practical skill-based program that provides easy-to-learn techniques to help with todays parenting challenges. Embracing a strengths-based approach, CSP for toddlers and preschoolers aims to decrease the incidence of abuse/neglect and high-risk behaviors by reducing parental stress.

Foster Family Services is a community-based program operated by specially trained and supervised Treatment Foster Parents to serve foster children with treatment needs. In this program, Treatment Foster Parents care for youth of all ages - infancy through adolescence - who need more attention and treatment than is provided in a traditional foster care placement. Boys Town North Florida, Inc. recruits, trains, and supervises Treatment Foster Parents, enabling them to care for youth with special needs in their private homes. A major focus of this program is teaching youth how to build healthy relationships and prosocial skills. Older youth also focus on functional skills - often referred to as independent-living skills-that can help them achieve success in school, their families, and work settings. Treatment Foster Parents receive 24 hour, on-call support and treatment advice from Boys Town North Florida, Inc.s professionals.
