These families are among New York City’s most fragile, having experienced complex, compounded, and often multi-generational trauma.
Location
Staff are located at 345 East 102nd Street, but this is a home-based program.
Program schedule
Monday and Friday, 9am - 5pm

Program Information
All Children’s House was the first program in New York City to fully convert its entire Preventive Services program to the Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) model. Offered in the home by licensed therapists, CPP is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention method that strengthens child-parent attachment, parental empathy, and resilience in families, helping to break cycles of abuse and neglect and promote long-term stability.
In addition to CPP, therapists provide family counseling, parent support groups as well as case management services such as: budgeting management skills, legal assistance, and housing and referrals to other community-based organizations, schools, hospitals, and domestic violence shelters and more.
