Training / Technical Assistance

In addition to its direct services component, Home Remedies offers a variety of training and technical assistance services for human service agencies. As a model program for the Governor's Crime Commission, the Division of Youth Services, and the Division of Social Services, Home Remedies has been instrumental in the development and statewide expansion of Intensive Family Preservation Services in North Carolina.

From 1987 to 2000, Home Remedies provided a variety of support services to newly funded and existing programs that included pre- and in-service training, on-site and telephone consultation, and program evaluation. Home Remedies currently provides mandated training for all state-funded Family Preservation and Family Support program staff.

As a member of the NC DSS Children's Services Statewide Training Partnership, Home Remedies regularly conducts the following training workshops:

  • Partners in Change: A New Perspective on Child Protective Services
  • Partners in Change: An Introduction to Family Centered Practice
  • Family-Centered Practice in Family Preservation Programs
  • Connecting With Families: Family Support in Practice

Complete descriptions of these and other Partnership offerings, training calendars, and registration materials can be obtained at https://www.ncswlearn.org/default.aspx.

Home Remedies can also develop and deliver specialized training in a variety of topics relevant to human services agencies, such as creating partnerships with clients, solution-focused approaches to Child Protective Services, team building, coping with change, stress management, self-care, and ethics and safety.
