The Center for Children & Families, Inc. (CCFI) provides

specialized services to children and families coping with abuse, neglect,

divorce, teenage pregnancy, a lack of quality out-of-school opportunities, and

other adverse or traumatic experiences.

Children at the Center

other trauma find healing at CCFI. Therapeutic approaches are used with children and their biological, foster and/or adoptive

from ages 4-18, and their families.

Strengthen FamiliesFamilies come in all shapes and sizes - each with a unique history of strengths and challenges. CCFI supports healthy parent/child

relationships and parenting practices through individual and group services; home visits; supervised visits and exchanges;
