Center for Reflective Communities

OUR MISSION

The Center for Reflective Communities (CRC) provides early intervention and parent training to enhance relationships between children and caregivers, leading to greater school readiness, increased academic achievement, and more productive lives.

Using an evidence-based, culturally responsive attachment approach, CRC strengthens the parent-child relationship which leads to socially competent children who have greater emotional health and are more likely to succeed in school and throughout their lives. Implementation of Reflective Programs in low-income communities can ideally serve to end cycles of poverty and trauma.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON OUR PROGRAMS:
•    Reflective Parenting for Two (RPP 2) – A hands-on, interactive, relationship-focused group model for parents and their infants, toddlers or preschoolers
•    Reflective Parenting Program (RPP) – Reflective parenting skills training, offering curriculum-based groups for parents from prenatal-adolescence
•   Reflective Care Program (RCP) – A customized, reflective approach for educators, caregivers and others supporting the well-being of children in educational, residential, child care and home settings
