Families
First of Florida, LLC
A unique Behavior
Analytic approach to the care of children & adolescents
Who are our
kids ? ?
A few of the indicators precipitating a referral to our clinical
Programs would be:
·
A child being
stepped-down from a costly residential facility
·
A child with a
history of multiple placement disruptions
·
A child with
history of running away
·
A child with
multiple school suspensions and/or truancy
·
A child with
DJJ involvement
·
A child that
is unable to function in traditional foster care due to these and other
defiant behaviors
Families First of Florida believes that stability is an important component to growth and development of
the child. Placements that combine
the strengths or our specially trained foster parents with the individual
needs of the child will result in increased days spent in the community and
the achievement of a common goal, a SUCCESSFUL DISCHARGE!
In addition to
homes with one or two placements, a group home setting is available within
the BAACCA program for those not able to function in an intimate family
environment.
Our Commitment . . .
Families First of Florida acknowledges that
we are part of a treatment team and is committed to working with local communities to meet the needs of
