How The Layne Project’s Unique Infrastructure Facilitates Ethical and Effective Wraparound Family Services
At The Layne Project (TLP) and The Layne Project 4 Families (TLP4Families), we are committed to safeguarding childhoods by providing families with the highest quality support through an intentionally designed, proven infrastructure.
We recognized early on that families navigating co-parenting challenges, high-conflict custody situations, and family transitions often experience fragmented and inconsistent support when services are spread across multiple agencies. To solve this, we built TLP’s unique infrastructure to provide a comprehensive, ethical, and highly coordinated approach to family support.
With TLP’s proven service model as its foundation, TLP4Families will able to deliver wraparound services that minimize barriers to care, reduce stress for families, and create a seamless, supportive experience for parents and children alike.
Why We Built Our Infrastructure to Facilitate Wraparound Services
Many traditional family support systems require parents to navigate multiple providers, retell their story repeatedly, and deal with delays, miscommunication, and conflicting recommendations. This disjointed approach often increases stress, escalates conflict, and creates additional challenges for children.
To solve this problem, we built TLP’s infrastructure around a fully integrated model that allows families to receive:
- Supervised Parenting Time
- Therapeutic Support (Licensed therapy for emotional and relational challenges)
- Coaching (Skill-building and forward-focused parenting guidance)
- Psychoeducational Groups (BeH2O™, Lokahi™, Keyframe™, Pause™)
TLP4Families utilizes TLP’s proven infrastructure to deliver these services effectively and ethically. By leveraging an established system that prioritizes collaboration, structured communication, and role clarity, TLP4Families ensures families receive seamless, high-quality support without the confusion and conflict that can arise in other service models.
The Benefits of Our Infrastructure
By using a cohesive service structure, our approach: ✅ Eliminates Fragmentation – Parents and children receive consistent support instead of being shuffled between providers.
✅ Promotes Collaboration – Professionals work within the same system, aligning interventions and reducing miscommunication.
✅ Focuses on Child Well-Being – Services are structured to minimize stress and conflict, creating stability for children.
✅ Increases Efficiency – Families save time and energy by coordinating all necessary services in one place.
✅ Reduces System Fatigue – Parents can focus on progress instead of managing multiple service providers.
Rather than causing conflicts, TLP’s infrastructure was intentionally built to enhance family outcomes, ensuring services are coordinated, ethical, and highly effective.
When Conflict Arises: Problem, Solution, Impact
Problem: Role Conflicts in Court-Involved Services
While our integrated model creates significant benefits, ethical concerns can arise when a professional is asked to serve in multiple roles that require neutrality—such as:
- Parenting Coordination
- Custody Evaluations
- Case Management
For example, a therapist should not also conduct a custody evaluation for the same family, as this could compromise objectivity. Similarly, a parenting coordinator should not also provide therapeutic services to one of the parents, as it may create a perception of bias.
Solution: Clear Role Boundaries & Informed Consent
To prevent conflicts, we have built role separation and transparency into our infrastructure:
- TLP maintains strict professional boundaries, ensuring that those providing therapeutic or coaching services do not serve in evaluative roles.
- If a family is receiving both supportive services (therapy, coaching, supervised visits) and evaluative services (case management, parenting coordination, custody evaluations), informed consent is required.
- Families are fully informed of potential role conflicts before beginning services, ensuring transparency and trust.
By maintaining strict role delineation, we eliminate conflicts while maximizing benefits.
