what we offer

In this program, we use the terms co-parenting and shared parenting interchangeably to reflect the range of caregiving relationships involved in raising a child.  Shared parenting can be challenging, especially when families are facing court involvement, DSS cases, or strained relationships.  Our Shared Parenting Foundations is a two-home coaching program delivered by trained therapists, right in the home or virtually.  We help families work together to build trust, communicate calmly, and prioritize the needs of their children—regardless of custody or caregiving arrangements.

This program is ideal for:

• Biological parents sharing custody
• Foster or kin caregivers co-parenting with biological parents
• Divorced or separated couples navigating conflict
• Court-ordered or DSS-involved families working towards reunification
• Grandparents, guardians, or blended families working toward healing

Why Families & Referring Partners Trust This Model:

• Delivered by licensed therapists or certified parent educators
• Can prevent escalation to DSS involvement or family court
• DSS and court-aligned documentation and reporting if needed
• Culturally responsive and trauma informed
• Focus on long-term stability, not just compliance

A Comprehensive Clinical Assessment (CCA) is a thorough, face-to-face evaluation conducted by a licensed mental health professional to determine an individual’s emotional, behavioral, and psychological needs. In North Carolina, CCAs are often the first step in accessing Medicaid-funded mental health or substance use services and are commonly required by DSS, juvenile justice systems, schools, and other service providers.

What a CCA Includes:

• Detailed clinical interview with the client and/or caregivers
• Review of medical, mental health, educational, and social history
• Assessment of current symptoms, strengths, and stressors
• DSM-5 diagnostic impressions
• Recommendations for appropriate services, supports, or level of care
• Referrals or linkage to therapy, psychiatric services, case management, or crisis supports

Who Needs a CCA?

• Children and youth entering mental health or behavioral services
• Individuals involved in DSS, foster care, or court-ordered treatment
• Anyone seeking a diagnostic evaluation for therapy, medication, or school support

How It Helps:  A CCA ensures that every individual receives a service plan tailored to their unique needs. It guides families, providers, and agencies toward effective, evidence-based treatment and support.We offer CCAs in-home, in-office, or virtually—depending on your needs and location.
