The grant will provide training, technical assistance coaching, curriculum materials and evaluation at no cost. Selected sites will be required to demonstrate the ability to fund the cost to implement the program as outlined in this RFQ.

 

About Celebrating Families!™

Celebrating Families!™(CF!) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, skill building program of 16 sessions serving the whole family: children ages birth -17, their parents and caregivers. Each session begins with a family meal, followed by 90-minute age-appropriate instructional sessions, ends with a 30-minute family activity where families practice the skills they are learning. CF! was developed specifically for families dealing with or at high risk for: substance use disorders; multi-generational trauma; physical and mental health challenges; cognitive deficits due to trauma, genetics, or in-utero exposure; and safety (child abuse/neglect). CF! addresses these needs through building healthy living skills, and psychoeducation.

Prevention Partnership International has subcontracted with Community Solutions to lead and coordinate this project.
