Chances for Children provides clinical group and dyadic services for families with young children to nurture relationships.
The Chances for Children Program is a clinical intervention especially designed to address the unique relational, emotional and developmental needs of young children 0 –5 years of age and their caregivers. A central component of the CFC model is the use of video recording of caregivers and children at play which is a very powerful tool to engage the caregiver in thinking and reflecting about their child’s emotional needs and behavior. The video feedback provides a mirror in which caregivers discover their strengths and challenges as they relate to their children.
Dyadic services are provided through individualized parent/caregiver–child sessions held for one hour each week for a period of time depending on individual family need and clinical progress.
The goals of dyadic services are:
To expand and improve the parent/caregiver’s parenting style
To strengthen the child-caregiver bond
To offer developmental and reflective parenting guidance
To screen for developmental and social emotional challenges
