Child First is a national, evidence-based, two-generation model that works with families who have young children that are experiencing adversity. We provide home-based mental health visiting services, along with care coordination, to meet your family’s needs.
Scientific research demonstrates that we can make a difference if we: Work to connect families to needed community-based services to decrease stress, and build strong, loving, caregiver-child relationships that protect and heal the brain from trauma and stress.
Child First aims to:
- Decrease stresses related to concrete needs.
- Facilitate family stability.
- Help connect families to vital community resources and service providers.
- Supports the development of strong, loving, and nurturing caregiver-child relationships.
Child First is delivered by a two‐person team consisting of (1) a licensed clinician who specializes in early childhood development; and (2) a family resource partner who works with the entire family unit on the sources of stress that impact their family.
