Additional information

The Family Intensive Reunification and Stabilization Team (FIRST) is designed to significantly reduce or eliminate the amount of time children with severe emotional disturbances spend in out-of-home placement (such as hospitals or institutions). We accomplish this by partnering with families and community providers to divert placement or accelerate the reunification process.
