Family Check-Up®
The Kid’s Therapy Center is proud to offer Family Check-Up® - a strength-based intervention program that focuses on the specific needs and strengths of each family.
Through the Family Check-Up® program, we are helping parents make lasting and powerful changes in their family’s lives.
We are here to help parents who are…
-
Overwhelmed by their child’s behavior
-
Losing control of their child
-
Worried their child will be taken away
-
At their wits end and don’t know what else to do
-
Exhausted from trying every parenting book and blog and still not seeing a difference
-
Victims of abuse or generational trauma and are struggling to break the cycle
-
Scared of what will happen if they don’t make a change

The program has also been found to be one of the most cost-effective, "well-supported" evidence-based practices across the widest age group of 2 -17.
How It Works
Family Check-Up® is broken into 3 steps:
1. Initial Interview
Explores parental strengths and challenges related to parenting and the family context.
2. Child and Family Assessment
Collects parent and child questionnaires and an observation of family interactions.
3. Feedback Session
Provides feedback that involves reviewing assessment results and discussing follow-up* services for the family.
After completing Family Check-Up®, we offer services that build off the program to help families find lasting results.
