The following represents updates given by mental health providers serving children and families on March 25, 2020: 

The Developmental Trauma Center at Family Forward is still taking referrals and completing intakes for new clients.  Clients who have open cases are receiving services via telehealth.

Family Forward's Community Service program Coaching services including family coaching, HVS, and MMP are still taking clients but there is a slight waiting list for our family coaching services. The coaches are seeing clients remotely through telehealth. Our therapy services still have a pause on taking new clients because of the length of our wait list which is six months plus. Our therapist are seeing their current clients via telehealth too.
