Family Educators

The Family Educator Program serves families where at least one child is under age twelve and resides within Windsor and Orange Counties. 

Family Educators provide home based support to families to prevent the need for children to enter the Department of Children and Family custody and out-of-home placement, and for those families whose children are being transitioned home or reunified. 

Family Educators also provide home based services to families not involved with the Department of Children and Family when caseload and capacity permits.

The Family Educator Staff works to establish a positive, supportive relationship with the family and build on their existing parent strengths.  They work to improve parenting, home management, problem solving skills, work closely with providers who are involved with the family, and assist families in connecting with additional resources. The length of support is limited to a 12-month period.
