Making continous progress
ANCR focuses on making continual progress towards the agency's strategic outcomes in a multitude of ways. ANCR acknowledges that the apprehension of children is traumatic for all family members and results in the displacement of children from their communities. ANCR is committed to removing children from their families only as a last resort and when there are no other options to ensure child safety. ANCR works with parents, caregivers, and extended family and community members to develop safety plans which ensure child safety but also maintains children with their family and within their communities.
Providing in-home supports
All ANCR programs are dedicated to providing in-home supports to support the well-being of children and their families. Needed supports are determined in collaboration with the family and can include food supplies, clothing, school supplies, car seats, safe sleeping arrangements for infants, in-home respite, in home parenting support, etc. The Early Intervention program family service teams support families for three to six months facilitating linkages to community resources, providing supports in times of crisis, building on family strengths and collaborating to address family needs.
