In-Home Family Therapy
Including families when working with children and adolescents is an approach that has gained popularity in the past 15 years. In-home therapy can prevent children from being placed outside the home while also strengthening family relationships. By bringing the services to the clients, there is a greater chance everyone will participate. In-home family therapy often results in families staying intact, and is more cost-effective than out-of-home placement.
Orion operates several different in-home programs that serve children, adolescents and families throughout
southern Wisconsin. Abuse, neglect, and delinquency are general problem areas identified at the start of services.
Some programs are designed to focus on specific target populations: families with children from infancy to pre-adolescence,
and families with adolescents. Other programs provide services across the age
span. Treatment interventions include individual, couples, and family
therapy as well as group therapy. Parenting skills education is incorporated in treatment
in both a formal curriculum based approach or informally as needed.
Orion therapists work in partnership with families to identify strengths and areas for growth
and to develop treatment goals. Length of treatment can range from 3-12 months or longer depending
on the need and intensity of treatment provided. While in-home therapy is most frequently used to
strengthen family relationships in order to prevent placement outside of the
home, Orion's in-home therapists are increasingly used to facilitate successful reunification in families
where a child will be returning from an out-of-home placement.
