Mission

FAMILY INITIATIVE, INC. IS COMMITTED TO ENGAGING IN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO EMPOWER FAMILIES AND ENSURE THE SAFETY, PERMANENCY, AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN. UTILIZING A FAMILY-CENTERED AND HOLISTIC APPROACH, OUR MISSION IS TO MAINTAIN TRANSPARENCY IN COLLABORATING WITH ALL WE SERVICE.

FAMILY INITIATIVE HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND EXPAND IN 2023. OUR FOUR LARGEST PROGRAMS REMAIN OUR CLINICAL SERVICES (APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT)), CHILD WELFARE PROGRAMS THAT ALSO INCLUDE PASCO AND PINELLAS COUNTIES NOW, AND AUTISM BASED COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, WHICH HAVE EXPANDED IN 2023. OUR AUTISM COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS INCLUDE: AUTISM SOCIAL SKILLS PLAYGROUP, TEEN HANGOUT GROUP, YOUNG ADULT GROUP, FREE AUTISM SCREENINGS, BABY AND ME, PARENT SUPPORT GROUP, FI CREATES, AND SIBLING GROUP. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A SARASOTA SOCIAL SKILLS PLAYGROUP AND FI CREATES PROGRAM IN 2023. ALL PROGRAMS HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IN 2023 AND WE HAVE SERVED OVER 1,000 FAMILIES ACROSS ALL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN SERVED IN ABA AND OT, INCLUDING THOSE IN SARASOTA COUNTY. OUR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS PROGRAM TEACHES SKILLS AND BEHAVIORS BY USING PRINCIPLES OF REINFORCEMENT. ALMOST 100% OF CHILDREN SERVED WHO A REDUCTION IN PROBLEM BEHAVIOR AND AN INCREASE IN APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS. IN 2023, FAMILY INITIATIVE LAUNCHED A PILOT OF AN AUTISM PRIVATE SPECIALTY SCHOOL AND PROVIDED EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING TO 12 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. OUR CHILD WELFARE PROGRAMS ALSO GREW IN 2023. IN ADDITION TO SARASOTA AND MIAMI, WE ADDED ANOTHER SITE IN PASCO AND PINELLAS COUNTIES. WE ALSO EXPANDED THE FAMILIES SERVED TO INCLUDE RELATIVE, ADOPTIVE FAMILIES AND FAMILIES REUNIFYING WITH THEIR BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN. THE CHILD WELFARE FAMILY IMPACT PROGRAM IS BASED ON THREE UNIQUE COMPONENTS TO ASSIST OUR CAREGIVERS ACROSS FLORIDA IN BUILDING A STRONGER TRAUMA INFORMED APPROACH FOR OUR CHILDREN WITH A HISTORY OF COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA. THE FIRST COMPONENT IS PRESERVICE TRAINING WHERE PROSPECTIVE FOSTER PARENTS WILL LEARN ABOUT BEHAVIOR-BASED, DEVELOPMENTALLY SENSITIVE, AND TRAUMA FOCUSED PARENTING. USING TRUST BASED RELATIONAL INTERVENTION (TBRI) AS A FOUNDATION OF THIS TRAINING LEADS INTO THE ADDITIONAL TRAINING ONCE FAMILIES ARE LICENSED AS FOSTER FAMILIES. THE THIRD COMPONENT OF THE PROGRAM INCLUDES IN HOME SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES TO ASSIST CAREGIVERS IN REAL TIME TO GAIN PROFICIENCY IN INDEPENDENTLY USING TBRI. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO INCREASE STRONGER, MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENTS AND A PLACE FOR OUR YOUTH IN OUT OF HOME CARE TO GROW AND THRIVE. OUR CHILD WELFARE PROGRAMS SERVED OVER 500 FAMILIES IN 2023.
