Our Programs
All our programming and services are customized to meet the specific needs of specific populations within specific community sectors. Nothing canned.
At the Kids First Foundation, our overarching goal of Trauma-Informed Programs is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and best practices for working with and identifying children who have experienced trauma and toxic stress. Giving educators, support staff, administrators, counselors, community programs, families, and other service providers the skills to support children against long-term harm. We focus our efforts on prevention, intervention, treatment, and community outreach. Our programs and services benefit the health, wellness, safety, and foster continual educational growth of all children and their families.
Our Approach
Prevention and early intervention is critical to helping children lead happy and healthy lives.
PREVENTION
The first step to ending child abuse is to prevent the cycle of child abuse from continuing. There are clear links among child maltreatment and future violence perpetration or victimization.
INTERVENTION
The next step to ending child abuse is dedicated to intervention and removal of children from abusive and dangerous situations.
TREATMENT
Another step is helping to treat children who have been affected by child abuse. The issue is substantial; a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds.
