Individual and Personal Services  
 
 

       

We appreciate your interest in our individual and personal service of  FamilyLightsm.  This is a fee based service.

Quick approach:  We are attempting to provide as much information as possible for those who want to browse casually or research thoroughly. Some people want or need to get a clear picture very quickly of who we are and what we do.  Those people will find the information in this box helpful.  

There is certain information you need to understand and certain items you need to have in order to work with us.  You need to understand completely the information in the following links:

Our Procedure

Home Visit

Purchase Information

You need to obtain and in most cases complete and fax back to us all of  the following:

Service Agreement

Authorization To Release Information

Checklist for the Home Visit

FamilyLight Fact Sheet 

Credit Card Authorization (not applicable if fee is paid by means other than credit card and there is no airfare involved in  consultant travel to home visit).

 

In addition, you need to phone FamilyLightsm for a rate quotation and an initial conversation with our consultant to be sure we are able to respond to your needs.  Contact information.

 

Remember:  All parties to custody of a minor child who will be the subject of the consultation need to be in support of the consultation and in communication with our consultant prior to contracting.  This includes both parents, including divorced or separated parents who have not shown an interest in the child, unless there  is a specific court order denying custody to that parent.  If the subject is a young adult, we need the participation of all with a parental interest, beginning with a phone conversation prior to contracting with us. 

Our work with clients is a process of dialog.  Do not expect a telegraphic response at or immediately after our home visit.  We normally can effect a short term placement of a minor within 48 hours or less of a home visit when safety issues are involved, or in extreme situations, prior to a home visit.  We will begin an active planning process with you at the home visit, and usually provide a sense of direction immediately.   For some families, making a referral within a very short time following our home visit is all that is asked of us.  Most families want direction for placement or other effective intervention quickly, but continue active dialog with us for the six months (or longer) that the family is under contract with us. 

You will gain a better understanding of who we are, and how and why we do what we do by exploring our web site more thoroughly than this "quick approach."
