FAITHS

Family Attachment Interventions Through Healing Solutions

The FAITHS Throughcare Program is a partnership between California State University San Bernardino and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. FAITHS offers comprehensive assistance to all justice-involved participants, their families, and the whole of San Bernardino County utilizing an augmented “throughcare” model of rehabilitation.

By addressing the needs of the offender rather than just addressing the individual offense, the goal is to reduce recidivism, improve the communities in which we all live, save taxpayer dollars through reducing correctional costs, and rupture the intergenerational cycle of trauma and incarceration. In addition to offering services to a diverse range of individuals and families, FAITHS and its partners will focus on finding solutions to assist the justice-involved veteran population, the struggles perpetuating homelessness, and racial inequity as a health crisis in San Bernardino County.

To reduce recidivism, break intergenerational cycles of trauma, create safer communities, and provide hope to families yet to be.

  • This program is a support group for individuals experiencing pregnancy, whether it be post-partum or prenatal, provided West Valley Detention Center and our community site location. This curriculum was created collaboratively as a blend of our attachment theory material, San Bernardino County’s Maternal Health Network’s community education bundles, and additional research. Unlike other FAITHS classes that can be more of an even balance of content and process, the focus of this group is more on processing with clients and mitigating the negative experiences associated with pregnancy and incarceration.

  • Directly involves the justice-involved individual’s family while in custody. CARE involves with the justice-involved individual and the family in multiple family therapy, as well as working with the family on case management and understanding the family’s needs. 

  • FAITHS utilizes Transitional Care Plans (TCPs) and case management tools to assist individuals with their development of reentry strategy and proximal/distal goals upon release or while they are receiving community services. Clients that are not actively in FAITHS programming may also request Reentry Intake Sessions on jail kiosks to begin enrollment into our community services.

  • Qualified justice-involved Individuals with lower risks of recidivism and more minor offenses may be eligible to be court-mandated into our community diversionary program. In lieu of incarceration, clients court-mandated into RAPID instead engage with FAITHS services at our community site receiving a mix of our psychoeducation classes, counseling, and case management.
