OUR SERVICES
Foster Care
Every child needs and deserves to grow up safe and protected from abuse and neglect. Caring foster parents offer children support and stability when they need it most. They provide care and support and help them with emotional and behavioral issues that result from the traumas they’ve experienced. Camelot specializes in higher level foster care for children and adolescents that may need extra support.
Counseling
Whether a youth is experiencing depression or bi-polar disorder and has significant impairments in functioning in their natural setting, Camelot’s In-Home Counseling Program can assist in developing skills and strategies to improve functioning. Our counselors meet youth in the community, schools and in the foster home to provide support in their natural environment, with a goal of helping maintain consistency and stability.
Therapeutic Mentoring
Therapeutic Mentoring services are community based intensive training on daily living, social or communication skills. Therapeutic mentors can assist youth to find, nurture and exercise their strengths. Activities are chosen based on the youth’s needs or the unique challenges they are dealing with. The goal is to improve interpersonal relationship skills in their school, home life, parental interactions, and sibling relationships.
Extended Family Support
The Extended Family Support program provides services to stabilize the home of a relative caregiver who has been caring for children when their biological parents are no longer able to. The services help avoid the relative and child involvement in the child welfare system and any disruption of the family placement. Services provided include help with obtaining guardianship and addressing legal authority.
