Prevention Services

People can and do make positive changes in their lives. Family First provides Colorado with the opportunity to offer more proactive services to support parents in addressing their challenges and seeking help.

Now, federal funding is available to keep families together and there are no income guidelines. Prevention services must be trauma-informed, evidence-based, approved, and subject to a well-designed and rigorous evaluation.
