FamilyForward leads the community in providing innovative solutions for advancing safer, healthier relationships for children and families.
The agency's overarching philosophy is based in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), developed by Dr. Bruce Perry. NMT is a trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive approach to understanding the impact of a child's history on current functioning. Guided by NMT, FamilyForward's comprehensive services support the child, family, and broader community.
FamilyForward prevents and treats child abuse and neglect. Our team helps children and the people who care for them address difficulties, create healthy developmental experiences, and promote resiliency.
FamilyForward moves vulnerable children in the direction of hope by delivering comprehensive therapeutic and educational services to support biological, foster, and adoptive families.
