pre-adolescents and adolescents with assistance to the resident in
areas of reunification with birth families,

academic remediation, and preparation for adoption.
- Tasks for the family and for the resident are
developed and tailored for the individual initially during the
placement process and are reviewed and updated semi-annually.

care which will help the family "be a family" by becoming effective
in parenting skills, role differentiation, accepting parental
responsibilities, and nurturing, developing, and maintaining
appropriate family/child ties and bonds.
