Program accomplishments

• FIREFLY CHILDREN AND FAMILY ALLIANCE IS THE LARGEST CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION PROVIDER IN CENTRAL INDIANA. THE AGENCY ASSUMED THIS RESPONSIBILITY IN 1999 WHEN A FEDERALLY FUNDED GRANT SUPPORTED THE PILOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE FOR CHILD SAFETY PROGRAM (NACS) IN MARION COUNTY. THE IMPACT OF THE NACS PROGRAM ON CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT IT EXPANDED THROUGHOUT CENTRAL INDIANA AND WAS RENAMED COMMUNITY PARTNERS FOR CHILD SAFETY. THE PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY AND DESIGNED TO ENSURE SAFE, STABLE HOMES FOR CHILDREN. CPCS PROVIDES COMMUNITY SUPPORT TO VULNERABLE FAMILIES LOCATED IN CENTRAL INDIANA WHO SELF-IDENTIFY OR ARE REFERRED TO BY COMMUNITY AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, RELATIVES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY SYSTEMS. PROVIDING SERVICES IN THE HOME IS THE FIRST STEP IN IDENTIFYING UNDERLYING ISSUES THAT CAN LEAD TO INSTABILITY AND UNSAFE ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN. TRAINED CASE MANAGERS HELP FAMILIES UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF DEFINING AND WORKING TOWARD FAMILY SPECIFIC GOALS. GOALS OFTEN INCLUDE SECURING SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SEEKING EMPLOYMENT OR ADVANCING JOB SKILLS, LEARNING AND USING CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION AND PARENTING SKILLS, AND CONNECTING FAMILIES TO RESOURCES TO ADDRESS ADDICTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS. THE CASE MANAGER IS KEY IN IDENTIFYING NECESSARY COMMUNITY RESOURCES, INITIATING REFERRALS, AND ULTIMATELY SUPPORTING FAMILIES.

OUR PROGRAM IS STRUCTURED TO BUILD TRUST WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND CREATE A PARTNERSHIP THAT FOCUSES ON CHILD WELL-BEING AND FAMILY CONNECTIONS. THE HOME ENVIRONMENT IS CONDUCIVE TO THERAPY SESSIONS BECAUSE IT'S WHERE FAMILIES ARE GENERALLY MOST AT EASE AND WILLING TO SPEAK OPENLY.

THE FATHER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BREAK THAT CYCLE BY EMPOWERING DADS TO DEVELOP THE CONFIDENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO BE GREAT DADS.
