Center For Child & Family Health Inc.

The Center for Child & Family Health Inc. (CCFH) is a non-profit organization focused on supporting children, youth, and families through mental health services, prevention programs, and community-based interventions. CCFH provides evidence-based trauma treatment, early childhood services, and capacity-building initiatives to improve outcomes for children and families affected by trauma, adversity, and violence.

Through federal contracts, CCFH has contributed expertise in child and adolescent health and well-being. As a subcontractor to Abt Associates Inc., CCFH provided senior advisors for the Millennium Cohort Program, offering guidance on subjects related to the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Additionally, CCFH has been a subrecipient for implementing the Healthy Families America home visiting model, delivering services to at-risk families and collecting data to demonstrate the impact of home visiting services.

CCFH has received significant federal grant funding to support its mission of promoting child and family well-being. A recent $972,406 cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention aims to build community capacity to support children exposed to violence in Durham, NC. Key activities include developing a comprehensive community plan, providing prevention and intervention services, and delivering evidence-based mental health therapy to reduce trauma symptoms. Another $2.8 million grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) focuses on increasing access to trauma-focused treatments and services for children and adolescents affected by traumatic events, addressing racial and ethnic behavioral health disparities. CCFH has also received grants from SAMHSA to coordinate early childhood mental health services and promote young child wellness through a coordinated system in Durham. As a subrecipient on grants from entities like Florida International University and the University of Connecticut Health Center, CCFH has contributed to disaster response initiatives, training and consultation efforts, and materials development related to evidence-based interventions for traumatized children.
