FOCUS
(Family Options that are Coordinated, United, Shared) keeps families
together and averts the need for child placement with comprehensive, in-home
family services and wrap-around collaborative efforts among Rensselaer County
Human Services.
With the involvement of a Parent Advocate
, FOCUS assists
parents in making their households work.

CAST
(Community And School Together) in Troy brings services to
support children and families to P.S.2,a neighborhood school, during
afternoon and evening hours. Vanderheyden also
offers respite services to empower and support families and children by
maintaining open lines of family communication. It provides an opportunity for
families to improve their social skills and increases a child's ability to
function within the community.
