Home Based Services The Home-Based Service Program is an intensive family-skill building program which serves youth (age 7 – 17) & their families living in Pitt County. Referrals are received from parents, court counselors, and school guidance counselors. Youths who participate in the Home-Based Services Program are generally struggling behaviorally at home and school. The program is funded through Pitt County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and while it is not necessary that the youth be involved with the juvenile justice system, one of our goals is to reduce or avoid future involvement with the courts due to youth’s behaviors. The Home-Based Services Program is unique because it provides services to youth & families in their home. This is important as it provides the opportunity for services to be individualized to meet an individual family’s needs and preferences. Services are curriculum based and use a three tier approach to enhance family functioning. This “three-tier approach” is accomplished through weekly, individual sessions with the youth, their parents/guardians, and then collective group sessions with the family.
