Celebrating Families!

Celebrating Families! (CF!) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, skill-building program focused on children’s future physical and behavioral health, including substance use disorders and mental health challenges. The program was developed originally for families in Treatment Courts dealing with or at high risk for multiple problems: substance use disorders; multi-generational trauma; physical and mental health challenges; cognitive deficits due to trauma, genetics, or in-utero exposure; and child abuse/neglect and family violence. All are significant Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The program has now been used in a multitude of settings from churches, to schools, and with community-based agencies serving families at risk for child abuse/neglect and family violence. Celebrating Families! addresses these needs through building healthy living skills and educating families.
