Our mission is to help families succeed.  Whether we are working with the entire family, a couple or an individual the goal is to create a game plan that offers solutions for ultimate success.  We aim to provide appropriate consultation, direction, simple solutions and access to information and services in order for the individual to make progress and address the issues on a level that one is capable of.  Essentially, people deal with so many different challenges and face so many issues today that at times, we all may need a little help figuring things out.  For example, we work with blended family challenges, foster care family challenges, aging parent care issues, adjustments at school for children, issues for children in foster care, youth and adult anger, parenting issues, marriage or divorce related problems, communications issues at all levels and across generations.  We will always focus on the positive, what is going right and capitalize on strengths while addressing development opportunities.  CONTACT US

Youth Programs
KIDSAFE CT has developed an After School Drop-In Center and Mentoring Program for at-risk high school and middle school students in Vernon/Rockville.  This program allows us to deal directly with young people affected by abuse and living in dysfunctional families.  Many of these young people do not want to go home after school and are happy to spend time at the Center.  This program has been so successful in providing a safe environment without drugs and gang activity that we have been commended by the local police and are welcomed in the Middle School as a resource for these youth during the school day.  In addition to the drop-in center, we also are providing one-on-one mentors for youth in foster homes throughout the area.
