Serenity developed its own unique Family Preservation Program to accomplish its goals. Our Masters level staff provides birth family counseling, parenting classes, individual and conjoint therapy, as well as consultation / referrals for educational and vocational training. Post-placement and after care services are provided whenever possible.

To measure our success:
Our agency goals are set, measured and evaluated by the founders/executive staff, conjointly with the Board of Directors, which meets at least quarterly. A database system is used as a quantitative measurement of the program; the qualitative success is determined by the fulfillment of the individual treatment goals for each program participant.

Although family reunification is the primary focus, Serenity supports the concurrent plan philosophy:
“Should reunification efforts fail, a secondary permanent home meeting the child’s needs must be concurrently planned”.
