To Excel (ACCELERATE) Program
The Partnership's ACCELERATE program provides an innovative continuum
of evidence-based programs and services in Auburn's center-based child
care centers. The goals of this continuum are to: enhance the capacity
of pre-school program educators to support at-risk children; introduce
school- and family-based prevention programs that effectively promote
the social, emotional, and behavioral competency skills of children;
effectively address the service needs of children with developmental
deficits by implementing validated child- and family-focused programs
that occur in natural settings; and improve access to community services.
ACCELERATE's core programs include child-centered play therapy, Child
Parent Relationships (CPR), Pre-School Second Step, and EPIC (Every
Person Influences Children) Parenting Skills workshops. (ACCELERATE

Family Group Conferencing
Family Group Conferencing is a validated intervention designed to support
and guide families, including extended family members, to provide their
own resolutions when there is a risk of out of home placement. The model
focuses on a family's strengths, resources, culture and relationships
to encourage family members to assume more responsibility in providing
care and protection for their children. (Brochure)

community-based alternative program for children under the age of 16

Multidimensional Family Support
Program (MFS)
MFS is provided by the Partnership in collaboration with Cayuga County
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It offers an intensive,
clinically based program for families involved with HHS who have children
that are: at risk of removal from their home to a higher level of care;
at risk of removal from their current foster home to a higher level
of care; transitioning out of custody back to their homes; transitioning
from residential placement to home/foster home; needing support during
their post adoption transitions. Each family is assigned a master's
level clinician from the Partnership. The clinician and family collaborate
to determine the best intervention and services that will support the
family and allow the child to maintain his/her current placement. The
clinician, who is trained in home-based interventions and multi-disciplinary
family assessment, provides clinical intervention (Brochure)
