CARE Model: Creating Conditions for Change
The development of the CARE model began in 2005 in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Social Services, the South Carolina Association of Children's Homes and Family Services, Duke Endowment, and over 100 residential services personnel. The model seeks to support thriving children in the arena of competing interests with a concentration upon six core principals:
- Developmentally Focused
- Family Involved
- Relationship Based
- Competence Centered
- Trauma Informed
- Ecologically Oriented
