Services
CSC’s Family Services Division connects families to the resources and support systems they need to develop strong, compassionate and nurturing family units.
Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention(CBCAP,
Mini Grants), CFSA
Through our nonprofit affiliate Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP), CSC runs the HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) program, which teaches parents to help their children build critical skills and confidence before starting school. The program’s target population is children and families who are particularly vulnerable and in need of increased support services to ensure family stability, child safety and overall well-being.
Community-Based Child Well-Being Services, CFSA
This program provides community-based child welfare services focused on keeping kids and families together through our Healthy Families/Thriving Communities Collaborative. By working to increase protective factors for individuals and families, CSC enables them to thrive.
Parenting Education & Support Program (PESP), CFSA
At CSC, we are dedicated to assisting families as they seek to foster healthy relationships with their children. Our trained staff members educate parents about positive ways to interact with children at different ages and stages of development. We start with a family assessment to determine what other CSC services may benefit them – from case management and workforce development, to Family Group Conferencing (FGC) and truancy support.
