Children and Families
When we think of children’s health we often think about aches and pains, a fever or a runny noses, bumps and bruises, and dental care. Emotional health and well being, although often overlooked, are also very important considerations when raising children. Since children develop rapidly, delivering services and support as quickly as possible is necessary to avoid lasting consequences and to ensure that children and their families are prepared for life’s challenges. There are quality treatment options available specifically for children and families in Kent County. At network180, our system of care provides mental health, substance use disorder, and developmental disability services for infants, children, and their caregivers. Look below to find out more…

The Community Family Partnership

The Community Family Partnership (CFP) is building a coordinated service network that supports the behavioral health of children, youth, and families. The CFP engages families and youth in partnership with public and private organizations to design and deliver mental health services and supports that are effective, that build on the strengths of individuals, and that address each person's cultural and linguistic needs. It is our hope that through the efforts of the Community Family Partnership, children, youth, and families will define and pursue their potential. Please visit: http://cfpsystemofcare.org/
