Chemical dependency can be an even heavier burden for someone about to give birth, or with a newborn or young child. These women require special assistance not only for themselves, but for the child they carry and will be responsible for. Their needs are unique, and their challenges many.

 Perinatal Program

  • Full case management, including needs assessment, links to community support organizations, progress monitoring, crisis intervention, and rights advocacy.

  • Help in finding pre-natal and post-natal care, housing, child care, medical care, and transportation.

  • Referrals for addiction treatment, prevention, psychiatric and mental health counseling, nutritional assessment, parenting guidance, and domestic abuse issues.

  • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome prevention and education.

  • Division Family Services liaisons provide support and case management to prevent or reduce the duration of out-of-home placements.

 

 Women In Transition Program

  • Specifically for substance abusers receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

  • Helps close the gap between State services and client needs.

  • Case managers help clients prevent interruption of their benefits, and to obtain employment.

  • Individualized services treat the client as a unique person with specific needs and concerns to be addressed.

 Prevention Programs for Youth

Prevention Programs for YouthBCI administers several programs that increase protective factors for youth, increase education to youth about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and increase the perception of danger of drug use.

Focus on Families is a science-based intervention for families in which parents are addicted to drugs or alcohol.

  • The program reduces parents' illegal drug use and children's risk factors through group counseling and case management for parents and children.

  • Prevention Specialists provide individual case management services to each family to reinforce the skills learned and apply them to the home environment. Children practice the skills with their parents.

  • Session topics include family goal setting, relapse prevention, family communication skills, and helping children succeed in school.

Incredible Years is a prevention program for children ages 3-8 and their parents who are undergoing treatment for substance abuse.

  • The goal of the program is to promote social skills and reduce behaviors that could lead to future substance abuse.

  • This program is funded by the Delaware Community Foundation.
