New Family First Website Launches

The Office of Children, Youth and Families has launched a new website for Family First resources. This website, cofamilyfirst.org, is a one-stop resource for providers and community members to find up-to-date information on Family First. This website was developed to improve support for Colorado’s children, youth, and families in finding treatment that is best matched to their specific clinical needs.

For those who are seeking information on Family First specific to Colorado, the new domain name, cofamilyfirst.org, makes the site it easier to find.

For those seeking more intensive treatment and resources to match the specific needs of children or youth, the new live Provider Services Agency/Facility Directory is equipped with an interactive map. This user-friendly feature will empower you to find treatment providers easily and quickly, putting you in control of your search. There are also step-by-step instructions on how to navigate the directory.

The Resources, Forms, and Trainings tab has an enhanced search feature for finding specific library items related to Family First. This feature can be used to find topic-specific items.

Providers can also provide more information to highlight their treatment specialties and update their specialties using this form.

More resources are currently in development (coming soon):
- CDHS will provide a similar directory for families to find Prevention Services available in their area (expected late summer or fall of this year).
- Family-friendly news and interest items will be made available throughout the page to support families in connecting with their communities and strengthening their families.
