OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Child Welfare Services Keeping Families Together (KFT), New Beginnings (NB) and Families Moving Forward (FMF) are a group of services designed to preserve family unity and promote healthy births. KFT is a program through which San Franciscos Child Protective Services (CPS) and HPP work with families to keep them unified and prevent children from entering into the CPS system because of substance abuse issues in the family. The Peer Mentor Program is a part of Keeping Families Together; HPP staff members (who previously have had involvement with CPS) work closely with clients as they satisfy the requirements of the court for family reunification. Peer Mentors lead weekly support groups, accompany clients to court and medical appointments, and steward clients to appointments and other obligations. NB is an intensive outreach project targeting pregnant women at-risk of difficult pregnancies and birth complications, due to a variety factors including but not limited to substance abuse, mental health issues and other factors. Transitional-aged youth are also served by NB. FMF supports a very select group of highest needs families at risk of child welfare involvement due to housing instability.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Substance Abuse Services and Dependency Drug Court - The San Francisco Dependency Drug Court (DDC) is a court-supervised treatment and parenting program for people with children involved in the dependency system. A collaborative justice program, the DDC is a partnership between Human Services Agency, the Department of Public Health, the City Attorneys Office, the panel of dependency attorneys, the Homeless Prenatal Program, and the Superior Court. HPP is also part of a city-wide Substance Abuse Services collaborative, serving as a link between the streets and drug treatment programs for pregnant and parenting mothers with substance abuse problems. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Wellness Center HPP offers prenatal classes, post-partum support groups, doula (birth coach) support, alternative health services (e.g., massage, yoga, and acupuncture), parenting workshops and group prenatal care designed to help pregnant women deliver and raise healthy babies. The Wellness Center also provides free cribs and strollers and training in their use. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Auxiliary Services - As a family resource center, HPP provides integrated services that help families achieve long-term success. Case managers anchor HPPs service delivery and build relationships with clients. Case managers work with clients to resolve crisis situations so that goals related to long-term self-sufficiency can be met. Other HPP support services include: -The Childcare Center provides quality childcare for children while their parents participate in services. Trained in child development, Childcare Center staff facilitates age-appropriate activities for participants, with a recent emphasis on preparing younger children to be school ready. The Childcare Center also assists HPP clients with applications to the San Francisco Child Care Connection (SFC3) list for free high-quality pre-schools and subsidized day care.-The Community Technology Center (CTC) offers clients the opportunity to learn computer usage and literacy, establish email accounts, attend classes on Microsoft Office applications, conduct job and housing searches, and participate in online social networks, news, and media. HPP volunteers provide one-on-one and group tutoring; help with job searches and assistance in preparing resumes.-Mental Health Services provide clients with individual, couples, dyadic (parent/child) and family psychotherapy. -Enrichment Classes such as sewing, knitting, ESL (English as a Second Language) and art classes help clients learn valuable, therapeutic skills while their group format encourages community-building.-Referrals and linkages to dozens of other social service agencies for services HPP is unable to provide (e.g., substance abuse treatment programs, legal services). Case managers coordinate these referrals for clients as part of their overall plan for self-sufficiency. These agencies refer their clients to HPP to maximize the value of the services clients receive. |
