Preventive Services

ABC’s Preventive Services program, All Children’s House, serves children from birth to age five who are at the highest risk for morbidity and mortality resulting from abuse and neglect.

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.
