Description
Child First (CF) is an innovative program that provides home-based therapeutic intervention and hands on connection to community resources for children from birth to 6 years of age and their families. Child First focuses on at-risk children and their families to decrease the incidence of serious emotional disturbance, developmental and learning problems, and abuse and neglect. Children and families receive a comprehensive assessment. The two-person Child First team works with the family to develop and implement a treatment plan tailored to the needs of the child and family. The Child First team provides home-based dyadic therapy for the child and parent, parent guidance, family therapy, and collaborates closely with community providers to address immediate needs of children and families and help stabilize the home environment. Child First is an early childhood system of care and can provide services for approximately 6 months. This program is grant funded and does not require insurance or payment. Serves the greater Waterbury area.
