Program values

CCF focuses on the family and on your strengths and needs. Your family and child are an important part of the team. CCF also believes children with mental health issues get the most out of services from their own communities that will be there after your child is doing better. We work very hard to find and put together anything that is needed to keep your child at home, or close to it.

These statements explain our thoughts to helping you and your family:

  1. Each child and family is unique. All families have strengths as well as needs.
  2. Families are responsible for their children.
  3. Children have better success while living at home and in their own communities.
  4. Families can set their own goals for the future.
  5. A team effort helps a family reach their goals.
  6. Children and families are successful when CCF uses a balanced approach. Treatment plans must protect the community. Plans also must help families build new living skills.
  7. To achieve the family's vision for the future, it is important to respect a family's culture.
