CASA of Larimer County provides a safe and home-like setting for family time visitation for children and their non-custodial family members as well as a safe place for conflict-free exchanges for parents with shared custody through the Family Connections program at the Harmony House. The Family Connections program allows families to enjoy meals together, play outside, work on art projects, and continue making memories in a place that feels like home while the safety of the child is our utmost priority.
The Family Connections also offers Trust-Based Relational Intervention ® (TBRI®) programming and incorporates TBRI® into their work. TBRI® is a trauma-informed approach that helps us better understand and address the impact of trauma on families. It provides valuable strategies for building trust, promoting healthy relationships, and supporting healing. Our Case Managers are trained in TBRI® and utilize these principles to enhance the support they provide to parents and children. By incorporating TBRI® into our program, we aim to create a safe and nurturing environment that promotes healing and resilience. This part of our program is free of charge for the visiting parent, and the non-visiting parent can access the same material as a virtual course.
