CHILD & FAMILY AGENCY
of Southeastern Connecticut, Inc.

About the Book

EveryChild: A Social History of Caring tells the history of four New England children’s agencies, established in 1809, 1859, 1906, and 1954 which became Child & Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut. With this book, Gullotta provides readers with a window on the social forces underlying the creation of orphanages, settlement houses, childcare centers, and children’s mental health services in the United States. It is also the story of early American city life and the everyday people who, by their concern for others, gave rise to children’s services across the country.  Readers are bound to meet ordinary people who made extraordinary accomplishments through acts of kindness and compassion in this book. In 2009, the commitment of caring for children-at-risk continues today as Child & Family celebrates 200 years of social service.
