Elite Family Systems (EFS)

Children are placed with EFS through various county child protective services agencies. The goal is to prepare emotionally fragile children to re-enter healthy family settings. Guiding a child toward a successful future is most likely to occur within an effective family unit where acceptance, love and discipline exist. EFS' children are empowered by learning skills in appropriate communication and socialization, problem solving, decision-making and effective goal setting. Within EFS' homes, children receive 24-hour supervision from trained personnel in a structured and caring environment. EFS' ratio of staff to clients enables the children to safely learn the appropriate behaviors needed in dealing with their challenge. Staff personnel receive extensive training in interacting with emotionally disturbed children and are trained to coordinate their efforts with credentialed counselors. To provide a more therapeutic and nurturing environment, EFS also provides on-site professional therapy and behavior support services. Extracurricular activities through various organizations are also made available to clients. During the period covered, 7,855 days were provided and 49 clients were served.
