COMMUNITY OUTREACH DEPARTMENT Child and Family Focus has been expanding our programs in an effort to serve more families in need in more counties in Pennsylvania. In addition to the three core services CFF began with – Family Based, Therapeutic Foster Care and Respite – we are adding a wide array of services to our continuum of care. These new services speak to our philosophy of providing quality community based supports for children and families. This ongoing expansion of services at CFF led to the development of the Community Outreach Department. The Community Outreach Department includes:
TREATMENT SERVICES CFF recognizes that the needs of children and families at-risk can be extremely complex and that school personnel, social workers, therapists, family development specialists and administrators must work together to best meet these needs. Treatment services are provided by a two-person team through intensive treatment interventions in the family's home or in the therapeutic foster home. Autism CFF Autism Family Based Services offer a unique approach to helping the child and the family of the child, who has been diagnosed with a developmental disability within the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Like typical foster care, a child unable to live with his / her own family lives with a foster family who temporarily provides basic care. TFC families provide this and more. They go to a higher level as part of a therapeutic team to provide emotional healing and behavioral supports. TFC families help children help children to learn to live in a healthy family environment and become an active member of the community. Click here to learn more.

Children’s Review Team CFF’s Children’s Review Team is for Chester County families who are considering placing their child in an out of home placement. It is the mechanism to insure that every community resource and option for a child has been considered and exhausted prior to a child being referred to a therapeutic foster care program or a residential treatment facility.
