Services
Therapeutic Early Childhood Programs
Our intake team completes eligibility screens with families at local hospitals, WIC classes, the teen parent program, on the phone, and in person for walk-ins. Families who are eligible for and interested in services receive phone support from an intake specialist until the family is enrolled in services or their situation has stabilized. The intake specialist monitors caseloads and utilizes each program’s service delivery priorities to identify which families are offered services when caseloads have openings.
