Norfolk Family Coalition

Community Response/CYI is a system of supports and services for children and families to prevent unnecessary entry into the child welfare system. The team helps families work to resolve crises, set goals and access assistance to increase their safety and well-being and remain intact.

Communities for Kids (C4K) partners with communities' public and private entities to support and coordinate planning access to high quality early care and education for all children birth through age eight. These partnerships are customized to address each community's unique assets and needs so that each community can grow and prosper well into the future.

Rooted in Relationships (RinR) is an initiative that partners with communities to implement evidence based practices that enhance the social-emotional development of children, birth through age 8. One part of this initiative supports communities as they implement the Pyramid Model, a framework of evidence-based practices that promote the social, emotional, and behavorial competence of young children, in selected family childcare homes and childcare centers. In addition, communities develop and implement a long-range plan that influences the early childhood systems of care in the community and supports the healthy social-emotional development of children.
