Program Director: Lois Ishmael Executive Director: Richard Chapman Services to Children in their Own Homes J.J.C.'s "Services to Children in their own Homes" program works with families referred to J.J.C. by the Philadelphia Department of Human Services. The major objective is to preserve and strengthen the family's capability to utilize resources appropriately, so as to avoid the placement of children into foster homes or group homes. SCOH social workers form a contract with families, which means that the families agree to accept frequent SCOH counseling and agree to follow-through on the use of a wide range of community resources. The children are frequently monitored to ensure their health, welfare and school attendance. J.J.C.'s SCOH program is one of the largest provider of in-home supportive services in the City of Philadelphia. For more information please contact Lois Ishmael at (215) 849-2112 ext 5501
