Child First Child First | [https://www.childfirst.org/] is an evidence-based, early childhood intervention that helps very vulnerable families build strong, nurturing relationships that protect and heal young children from the devastating impact of trauma and chronic stress.
Most families have experienced multiple challenges, including poverty, violence, depression, substance use, and homelessness.
Research demonstrates that these adverse experiences damage the developing brain of the young child.
Therefore, Child First works in the home with a two-pronged approach: (1) Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP HOME – Child-Parent Psychotherapy (childparentpsychotherapy.com) [https://childparentpsychotherapy.com/] ), an attachment-based, trauma-informed, dyadic intervention which protects the brain from the impact of stress and trauma, and (2) Care coordination that provides wrap-around services and supports for the whole family, decreasing “toxic” stress.
In this way, Child First is able to decrease the incidence of serious emotional disturbance, developmental and learning problems, and abuse and neglect among young children (prenatal to age six years).
This intervention has been designated by Health and Human Services (HHS) as one of the 17 national, evidence-based home visiting models under the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Initiative (MIECHV).
