Do you partner with schools or other educational institutions?
Yes, Children First Center partners with local schools to support children and families. Since we work with children under the age of 18, we maintain close connections with schools in our area. We have a contract with Garrett-Keyser-Butler Schools to provide support counseling and case management services to families in need. Additionally, we collaborate with local schools to offer our Shaken Baby Education classes to health classes upon request, promoting awareness and prevention among students.
