The purpose of Stepping Stones Residential Program is to provide a safe, supportive and educational environment for children and their parents to increase their parental capacity and/or successfully reunify as a family. Each family comes to Stepping Stones with unique backgrounds, abilities and needs. We encourage residents to respect and be sensitive to each other’s differences. The goal of the Stepping Stones program is to assist children and their families to develop skills, knowledge and the ability to live safely and independently as a family.
