WHAT IS THE SAFECARE® MODEL?

SafeCare® is an evidence-based skills training program for caregivers of children under the age of 5.

As a SafeCare® provider, FCS focuses on three key outcomes that are universally important for families:

• Creating positive relationships between caregivers and their children,
• Ensuring homes are safe to reduce the risk of child unintentional injury,
• Keeping children as healthy as possible.

WHAT TO EXPECT

FCS professionals provide weekly, module-based skills training in the family’s home (when possible). Sessions typically run 60 minutes. FCS work with parents and caregivers until they meet a set of skill-based criteria established for each of the three modules (Health, Safety, Parent-Child/Infant Interaction).

FCS services also have the added value of the following:

• INDIVIDUALIZED HELP: Our specialists use a family-focused, child-centered approach to teach families how to function at their best. We help you build on the knowledge, experience and existing strengths you have as a parent. Together we will set goals to create long-term, positive and permanent changes.
• FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION: Because positive parenting can make such a difference in the life of a family, we offer a variety of parenting and relationship enhancement classes to parents and couples throughout the year.
• MOBILE CRISIS SERVICES: For anyone in Tulsa County, FCS’s COPES provides 24-hour rapid response, stabilization and intervention having thoughts of suicide, harming themselves, hurting others or having feelings of being out of control. Children, teens and adults in crisis are stabilized and linked to ongoing care. For help, call 918.744.4800.
