Provide a safe and supportive environment for infants and toddlers and facilitate developmentally appropriate activities to keep them occupied while their families participate in the Celebrating Families! program for families in which one or both parents is working to overcome addiction. By creating structure and stability, you can enhance the lives of our youngest family members while their parents practice the skills necessary to keep their families strong. Training is provided. We are looking for enthusiastic, compassionate individuals with a love of children and a desire to learn and gain experience working with families from diverse backgrounds.
This 20-week program runs twice yearly. Contact us to learn when the next session starts or what you can do in the meantime!

About The Center for Children and Families

Mission Statement
The mission of The Center for Children and Families is to ensure safety, well-being and permanency for children. We are a merger of three previously independent agencies (Second Chance Homes, Forever Families, and Arrowhead Psychological) working together to serve vulnerable and in-crisis families in our community.
Description
The Center for Children and Families provides services in three areas. The Second Chance Homes Program provides 24-hour staffed sober and supportive transitional housing for families in recovery from substance abuse. Services allow children to remain in parent care while the parent is in recovery and/or to return children more quickly to parental care. The Forever Families Program provides supportive services for foster/adoptive families and also provides supportive/financial services to youth aging out of the foster care system (ages 16-24). Our mental health and clinical services division provides individual neuropsychological assessment, mental health assessments, and parent child bonding assessments for families as well as individual and family mental health services. We also provide a myriad of therapeutic groups including Seeking Safety, Celebrating Families, Circle of Trust, and Transparenting education (for divorcing/separating/co-parenting families). Lastly, the agency often provides community training on the brain chemistry of addiction, team building and trauma informed environments.
