Narrative
The Together for Kids (TFK) program provides a comprehensive mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention model of service. It is made up of the following components:
1) infant, toddler, preschool, and school age (ages 5-13) behavioral health consultation for educators and families
2) trainings for educators and families on a variety of topics related to social-emotional health in children
3) referrals for more intensive services (e.g., child/parent psychotherapy, psychological assessment)
Services are designed to promote social-emotional wellness in children. We help teachers/families to understand and appropriately respond to challenging behaviors, strengthen home-school partnerships, and reduce suspensions and expulsions from early education and care settings. The goal is to help children to become enjoyable family members, valued friends, and successful learners. They can develop a “foundation for success” in kindergarten and beyond.
