Supervisor - Family Treatment Rehabilitation
Graham Windham is one of the first organizations in the New York City to implement Solution -Based Casework (SBC). Solution-Based Casework helps children and families to be the solution to the seemingly insurmountable problems in their lives, from generational cycles of poverty, abuse, and neglect to unemployment, domestic violence and severe health problems. By recognizing and reinforcing their innate strengths and ability to cope, we at Graham Windham empower them to take the lead in making change in their lives.
About the Program
The Family Treatment/ Rehabilitation Program (FTR) located in Brooklyn offers intensive preventive case management services to families at risk of removal of children to foster care due to neglect and abuse.

Using Solution Based Casework, we actively work with parents to help them develop a more active, consistent and productive role in their child's educational and social development; we encourage families to build connections to positive supports in their community who will help them sustain their progress.
