House Calls

Our focus is on the well-being of the child, adolescent, and family, so we never favor any one approach or school of therapy to the exclusion of others. Our eclectic style sees the children as part of a unique web of family interaction and dynamics. That's why Family First makes house calls its priority.

For Children, we collaboratively work with parents, siblings, school administration, doctors, and other professionals involved in the child's life. Once a plan is developed, the parent learns to do it with the child, as they are the primary relationship in the child's life. The parent is taught the principles behind the behavior modification, academic framework, and developmental guidelines that pertain to their own child.

For Families, our Director visits with families in their homes for two to three days in order to identify the patterns that inhibit unity and the nurturing of the family spirit. Our goal is to address the causes in the home environment. Observing a family at home neutralizes many of the screening behaviors that tend to obscure negative behavior patterns. We then collaborate with all members to devise adequate and affective solutions. Family First makes certain to identify and bring focus to the strengths of the family, and build on each family’s personalized foundation. This means that more energy and time can be devoted to family solutions — and solutions are what Family First is all about.
