Child Welfare

Families Are Stronger Together (FAST)

Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) Families Are Stronger Together (FAST) Family Services for Deaf Children and Adults Foster Care Healthy Families Improving Family Systems LifeSet Mother and Child Program Partners for Change The Phoenix Project Staten Island Community Partnership Strengthening Our Families Strengthening, Teaching, and Educating People through Support (STEP-S) Youth on the Rise

Families with indicated cases of child abuse and neglect where placement in foster care is imminent require specific supports in order for children to remain safely in the home. The Foundling’s Families Are Stronger Together (FAST) program uses the evidence-based model, Multisystemic Therapy Prevention (MST-PRV), to provide intensive therapy to the entire family.

The Foundling’s Families Are Stronger Together program aims to keep families together, assure that children are safe, prevent abuse and neglect, reduce mental health difficulties experienced by adults and children, and increase natural social supports. By providing treatment to the whole family, FAST engages and motivates youth and their families, resulting in sustainable change that keeps families together. The program operates in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
