The Village for Families & Children

The Village for Families & Children Visit www.thevillage.org to learn more about The Village. The Village has been serving children and families for over 200 years.

From prevention to crisis…The Village does whatever it takes to help children, adults and families transform their lives and achieve real and meaningful change. Today, we are one of the most respected child and family serving organizations in the state, helping vulnerable children and families at all levels of need….from children who have severe emotional or mental health problems to those who need support and guidance to stay on a successful path. We have also grown and evolved to better serve the needs of our community by adding mental health and substance abuse services for adults and partnering with primary care service providers to form integrated pediatric clinics. Our mission is to build a community of strong healthy families who protect and nurture children. We believe that families can thrive despite traumatic experiences they may have suffered in the past or adversity that may overwhelm them now. Our continuum of behavioral health treatment and support services for children and adults allows us to customize programs to treat the whole person – mentally and physically – and help children, adults and families build resilience to overcome challenges that life throws at them. The work we do enables children to be socially and emotionally healthy, thrive in safe and permanent homes and to succeed academically. We help adults to be effective, nurturing caregivers, and be able to manage and prevent crises. Our work also builds strong, stable communities. That’s good for everyone – in every community.

⛄️ We had a BRR-illient time at our Snowman Family Breakfast with KIDSAFE CT (our affiliate in Vernon), where families had a delicious meal, enjoyed an exciting winter fair and received resources to help them thrive.

❤ Thanks to generous donations to our campaign, we provided brand-new children’s coats and winter gear — as well as free books donated by shoppers at the Glastonbury Barnes & Noble.

❄️ A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this community event a FLURRY of fun and a great success. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor SBM Charitable Foundation!
