  What are the Family Resiliency Programs?

Cayuga Home for Children's Family Resiliency Programs are dedicated to helping families remain together. Our goal is to form a strong partnership with families, and work within the context of a family's cultural and social values to help family members solve conflicts and build relationships. We are dedicated to building on a family's strengths, and using those strengths to overcome whatever difficulties the families might be experiencing. Whether our services take place in your home or in ours, Cayuga Home for Children is here to support you. Our Resiliency Programs have a proven track record of keeping families intact and improving the way they function at home and in the community.

Building on Strengths

Our programs are founded on a set of basic assumptions about individuals and families that guide us in our work:
  • All families have strengths and we need to capitalize on them.
  • People are doing the best they can at any given point in time.
  • Families are our partners, and we work with their strengths to attain success.
  • Change takes place when we meet a family within its own social and cultural context, form appropriate goals, and aid them in getting where they want to go.
  • We offer our services at times that are convenient to the families, including evenings and weekends.
  • We offer 24 hours/day, 7 days/week support with the goal of helping to meet a family's needs while keeping family members safe.
  • Cayuga Home for Children Family Resiliency staff work with small caseloads, allowing a high level of support for each family.
