Reunification
Services
Gwen's Girls
provides reunification services to girls in placement who reside in
Allegheny County. Our goal is to facilitate the critical transition
from an out-of-home placement back into the family, school, and
community.
Our clients are victims of abuse
(physical, mental and/or sexual), neglect and abandonment –
which has resulted in removal from their homes and are now in
foster care or placement/group homes. Once it has been determined
by the courts that a child may return home, the difficult
transition of reunification begins. These girls require a high
intensity of service, including intensive care
management.
We also
offer Parent Support and Education groups to help
parents/caretakers cope with the various challenges of family
life.
