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.

❗️🎒 As children head back to school, mental health challenges intensify — and without timely intervention, these struggles can disrupt learning and even become life-threatening. Today we were joined by experts from Connecticut Children's Youth Su***de Prevention Center, state leaders and a local family to share critical warning signs for parents and discuss how to access immediate help through services like our walk-in youth mental health Urgent Crisis Center (UCC). Stay tuned for news coverage.

🎪 Our Extended Day Treatment (EDT) team held an amazing back-to-school send-off for 65 children and their family members, where they enjoyed fun carnival games, had a tasty lunch and also received backpacks, supplies and Dignity Grows totes to ensure that they begin the school year with confidence.

🛝 EDT is a 6-month day program that supports youth in developing and practicing social and coping skills to help them express their feelings in healthy, productive ways. Learn more: https://bit.ly/41FcLWB
