Reviews
"The Center for Children and Families is changing lives every day. It was an incredible life changing experience for our child to participate in their summer treatment program. This program and the other resources/events the center offers for parents provided invaluable insight. Check out their events and their weekend programs - many resources are for free. We became better parents thanks to them."
"We need to improve our knowledge about the current programs and studies at the front desk. They are at the website but no one knows anything when you call? What's going on?"
"I have had incredible success with learning how to support my child with oppositional defiance disorder and ADHD. From disciplining, to homework help, they have given me wonderful tools and my child has grown so much. She is now even making the honor roll. I’m thankful to have this resource."
"I was seeking services for my daughter who is autistic and non verbal, she has severe anxiety and which this is a anxiety program and also selevtive mutism program. The nerve of that doctor reports me us to dcf and threatened us. For my daughter to go through that experience of dcf coming to check on my daughter is uncalled for. She threatened to call dcf if i dont call mobile crisis , my daughter is not in a crisis which the mobile crisis told me, Because i have an autistic child, they judging us. My daughter gets everything she needs. I would not reccomend this place to noone! i would give it 0 stars if I can. Because the team they have there is unskilled and they are very unprofessional. Her name Anya Urcuyo and DR Jaimi Furr"
