Overview
FFT-CW is a family-based program that helps families make positive changes in their homes. A typical treatment process consists of 4 months of weekly at-home sessions.
FFT-CW therapists:
- increase knowledge of child development
- strengthen parent/children relationships
- enhance caregivers’ skills for managing children’s behaviors
- help parents cope with the stress of parenting
- provide children with educational or vocational assitance
- provide referral and advocacy for families needing assistance
Community of Care
To protect children and to keep children with their families, FFT-CW is best delivered within a Community of Care. In the Community of Care, families can focus on improving familial relationships in a less stressful community-based setting.
Who Can Receive Services?
Families with children up to 18 years old residing in Manhattan Community District 10 and Bronx Community Districts 4 & 5 can receive FFT-CW services through CV. CV accepts self-referrals or referrals from the Administration of Children’s Services, NYCHA, NYC Department of Homeless Services, schools, courts, local community-based organizations, and foster care providers.
