Revisions of the care program have been the main focus of the first few months of 2022. The top goals have been to shorten the residential component and significantly boost the family and community-based care components while preparing the staff for those adjustments. With the initial revisions completed, we recently provided the first training session to review the adjusted program together. We were able to invite and include some key community partners important to collaboration for both support and future referrals of survivors needing care.
We are still looking for a new residential home that we feel meets all the important criteria for long term work. While the search continues, the team is focused on community-based care and programs directly serving families, children, and individuals in the cemetery communities, walking with them through daily challenges.
The care staff has also been intentionally learning how to teach key life skills, each learning how to effectively prepare and communicate lessons. This is enhancing their skill and building their confidence for the new care program adjustments. They are gaining confidence and understanding of how to teach and model foundational values that are critical to mentoring each girl.
We know the growth and experience the Grace House team is gaining now will only lead to a stronger care home in the future. We are truly grateful for your partnership as we move towards this goal!
