Our Sunday Family Enrichment Program is designed to promote family bonding by bringing together the mother and her co-residing or weekend visiting children, in a safe family centered environment. The goal of the program is to promote parenting skills.
The Family Intervention Programs are both funded by the City of Cincinnati.
Early Childhood Mental Health - The ECMP program infuses early childhood mental health principles and best practices into an early childhood education setting. The program integrates early childhood mental health principles and practices with our existing behavioral health treatment for families in recovery. Best practices suggest that to achieve effective results, treatment should involve both the child and their caregivers directly. Services include initial screening and assessment of social, emotional and behavioral concerns, diagnostic classification, early intervention strategies including mental health consultation in our centered-based early childhood setting, and treatment strategies including relationship-based, dyadic, parent-child therapy; specialized day treatment such as individual play therapy.
