Helping Children, Young Adults and Families

Children and young people often don’t have the coping strategies or the language to get through a crisis situation successfully. Negative behaviors and acting out are often the only way for that person to try to express what they are feeling. The trained and compassionate counselors at Families First have the experience to work with the child to help them explore their feelings, put words to the feelings and then work through the problem in a more positive way. When a child is in crisis, the whole family unit is affected. The crisis may be a reaction to the child’s behavior or the child’s reaction to what is happening in the family. No matter what the cause, our counselors are trained to work with everyone involved to uncover the causes of the problems and find solutions and healing.
