Greenbriar's Family Preservation
Program helps parents provide stable, nurturing homes for their children.
The goal is to prevent abuse, neglect and the breakdown of the family
structure, which can lead to the removal of children from the home.
Services include in-home family counseling, parent aide, referrals,
family support group and a ten-week series of parenting classes, "The
Nurturing Family."

 There are two Independent Living Programs at Greenbriar Children's Center. Although both provide similar services, each is geared to a different youth population. These programs strive to assist youth in learning and acquiring the necessary skills to become productive, law abiding, self-sufficient citizens. The youth live in a supervised apartment setting or a supervised group home.

The problem of child abuse
and neglect continues to plague our community. In 1996, Greenbriar
established Project Safe Place, which focuses on the prevention of
child abuse and neglect by partnering with local businesses to provide
safe havens for children in need. We have established over 125 Safe
Place sites including Chatham Area Transit, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, grocery
stores, fire stations and recreational facilities.

The Residential Program
provides a long-term supportive environment for children ages 13-17
who cannot remain in their homes due to family disruption caused by
abuse, neglect, abandonment, or who have not adjusted to foster
care. Up to 20 children at a time, 10 boys and 10 girls, live in cottages
on campus under the care of house parents and clinical staff. Greenbriar
provides a safe, stable environment and focuses on the individualized
needs of each child. Participants receive tutorial assistance, individual
and group counseling, recreational activities and life skills training.
