Legacy, Family Empowerment Program, provides services that are family-focused and community-based.  Program services are designed to assist families as they strive to cope with significant stresses or problems that interfere with parents’ ability to nurture and care for their children. The primary goal of the Legacy program is to provide a wide array of psychosocial support and advocacy services to assist with maintaining children in families, or to assist with reunification efforts, whenever this can safely occur. Legacy services can work closely and in partnership with treatment services such as outpatient or family based behavioral health services.

 

Legacy Empowerment Coaches are trained professionals that typically work as a team of two workers to ensure greater continuity of care for the families they strive to serve. Our coaches are uniquely suited to work with at risk families. They have experience and training specifically designed to address the wide array of needs that are typically present in families impacted by circumstances that cause them to be involved in the child welfare system.
