OUR APPROACH:
Children & Families First approaches
care through a trauma-informed lens
to help children reach their full potential.
The trauma of abuse, neglect, and
tragedy weigh heavily in the lives of our
children and families. We ask not,
“What’s wrong with you?” but “What
HAPPENED to you?”
Children & Families First strengthens
Delaware families by delivering an
innovative and effective continuum of
community-based social services. We
know our communities and meet their
changing needs through replication of
evidence-based programs and services.
