Program Description

The Children's Community Support Collaborative (CCSC) is a program of The Home for Little Wanderers located in a brand new, state of the art facility overlooking the Boston skyline in the Roxbury Crossing neighborhood of Boston. The primary goal of the Collaborative is to support families to remain together or return to being together as soon as clinically possible, by providing wraparound services a family needs to be successful in this goal. We provide intensive community based in-home treatment to help families remain together, rebuild connections that have been broken, and provide a unique group home treatment environment for clients not able to remain in their homes.

What kind of clinical environment do we operate in? First and foremost, we offer a highly supportive, well resourced, and flexible approach to care. Weekly supervision, multidisciplinary teams, and intensive clinical training support not only the best possible outcomes for our families, but a work environment where the collective wisdom and approaches of all the supporting disciplines lead to amazing outcomes for kids and families. Our multi-disciplinary team includes occupational therapists, peer specialists, outreach workers, milieu staff, nurses, a psychiatrist, clinicians and administrators, and offers many opportunities for connection, collaboration, growth and a collegial atmosphere.

We are committed to trauma-informed care that centers the voices of youth and families. To this end, we use principles and practices from Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma (ITCT), Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), Restorative Practices, and Permanency work to support family reunification and stabilization.
