Family First FAQ
The implementation of Family First in Colorado creates change for all of us. More parents will be able to receive services while continuing to live with their children. Caseworkers and counties will have more tools to support the families they serve. Providers and government agencies will also review and adapt their daily operations and processes so children and teens and their families get the supports they need to stay together.
