This model promotes closer relationships within the family, improved communication, increased confidence for both parents and teens, higher levels of empathy, and stronger understanding of developmental stages, roles, and effective responses to challenging situations.
Safe Spaces
Safe Spaces for Wake Supervised Visitation Program provides specific and curriculum guided skills and core concepts for building healthier family relationships in a neutral setting for families referred by Wake County Human Services to aide in the reunification process.
A unique component of the program is the utilization of pre-visit and post-visit briefings, which are 15-minute consultation sessions between the parent(s) and the Parent Visitation Coach (PVC). Safe Spaces for Wake emphasizes creating a safe and healthy family environment for children with their parents in charge.
Teens Against Bullying
The Youth Council (ages 10-13) and Teen Peer Leaders (ages 14-17) develop skills in a biweekly support group to advocate for themselves and peers to respond to bullying effectively and prevent further incidences. Mentors attend school appointments and facilitate the youth (ages 6-17) in navigating the system, making referrals to therapeutic services and informing them of legal rights.
