CHILD & FAMILY AGENCY
of Southeastern Connecticut, Inc.

Parent-Child Counseling

Family therapy is the context for much of the clinical work done at Child and Family. Play therapy, groups and individual counseling are also used to help a family strengthen itself. Coordination with schools and other agencies is a significant part of the service.

Intensive Family Preservation & Reunification Services

This program is designed to resolve situations in which one or more children are in danger of being removed from their parents. The program also serves families where there is a plan for a reunification/return to the home following an out-of-home placement. Based on a psycho-educational-behavioral approach, the goal is to prevent the out-of-home placement of children and to teach families new skills to prevent future crises.

Foster and Support Team (FAST) is a home-based program designed and stabilize foster and adoptive families so that children can live in safe, stable homes with minimal disruption.

Victimization Counseling

Treatment for the victims of sexual and physical abuse and their families is a major service at Child and Family Agency.

In all of these services, the amount of weekly face-to-face work with the child or teen and family is adjusted to meet family needs.
