Parent Coaching is the most intensive service; we will start working with families once an adoptive match has been identified to best implement trauma-informed parenting strategies. We will continue to work with families on a weekly to bi-weekly basis usually 1-2 hours per week but increasing should the need arise. Parent Coaching is provided both in person and on the phone, starting at the adoptive match and continuing through finalization and the first year of the adoption if needed. Parent Coaching is clinical, trauma-informed, individualized support provided by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is also a Certified Trauma Specialist and TBRI Educator |
