The purpose of Stepping Stones Residential Program is to provide a safe, supportive and educational environment for children and their parents to increase their parental capacity and/or successfully reunify as a family. Each family comes to Stepping Stones with unique backgrounds, abilities and needs. We encourage residents to respect and be sensitive to each other’s differences. The goal of the Stepping Stones program is to assist children and their families to develop skills, knowledge and the ability to live safely and independently as a family.
Stepping Stones provides children and their parents the opportunity to develop and strengthen healthy family attachment in a safe and nurturing educational environment to ensure the ongoing viability of the family unit and assess family strengths and needs while teaching essential life skills that lead to healthy family living and relationships through empowerment, guidance and support. VALUES Stepping Stones believes that children have the right to safety, permanency, well-being and mental health. Stepping Stones believes that children have the right to grow and live with dignity and respect. When children are treated with respect, they gain self-respect and respect for others. Stepping Stones believes that, when supported and empowered, children are better able to engage in healthy family living and relationships. VISION Our vision is that all children experiencing issues related to safety, stability, consistency will be able to access social services and supports needed to ensure proper growth, development, health and safety. |
