Intake Assessment
Every child served starts with an intake assessment, where program directors learn from guardians about the child's history, strengths, interests and challenges.
This is where guardians and program directors determine if Stable Moments programming is a good fit.
Plan of Care
From information gathered during the intake assessment, program directors develop an individualized, color-coded plan of care to address specific life-skill goals.
Our plans address six life skill areas including: self-worth, emotional awareness, self-regulation, responsibility, independence and healthy relationships.
1:1 Mentorship
Mentorship is the heart of our program. Research from Harvard suggests that one, long-term, healthy relationship with an adult builds resiliency factors in children with complex trauma needs.
Each participant is matched with a mentor for the 10- month program. Together, they develop a plan for each session including a connection, life-skill development, and transition activity.
What People Are Saying
"This program is at the forefront of the lacking but necessary trauma informed supportive services in foster care. As a foster parent and a therapist - I cannot begin to express the excitement to offer Stable Moments to my community"
Marcy Tocker
Grey Muzzle Manor
"My daughters nightmares have drastically decreased and we have also noticed a reduction in her “big emotional” moments, where she’s talking things out more instead of just letting her emotions get away from her. She counts down the days between sessions!"
Program Parent
"I've learned so much, you have made such a complex program so EASY, interesting and inspiring. Thank you for sharing all your hard work and allowing ordinary people with a dream to help others, be able to follow your program."
