关于我们

The FIRST (Family Intervention Response to Stop Trauma) Legal Clinic is a free clinic aimed at pregnant persons and parents of newborn infants who are at risk of Child Protective Services (CPS) removal from their parents’ care. FIRST Clinic’s work has resulted in a reduced need for CPS involvement, to the extent that 80% of their clients do not have a dependency filed when the FIRST Clinic has been involved. This means that hundreds of families have avoided the extremely traumatic experience of being threatened with the removal of their children. A nominator emphasized that it takes fierce advocacy, compassion, and innovation to see an endemic issue in your community, to formulate a proactive approach to addressing it through community partnerships, and to then revolutionize the way your community approaches that issue to reduce its negative impacts moving forward.

    Why would we separate a baby from their mother at birth? Why do we believe this is in the baby’s or mother’s best interest when substances are involved in the pregnancy? Why wouldn’t we make sure the mother can access the help she needs and be able to stay together with her newborn? These are the kinds of questions that drive Adam Ballout, attorney and co-founder of the FIRST Legal Clinic. Listen and share: https://lnkd.in/eQwxHKgw Tune into this week’s episode with Valerie Frost and Adam talking about the innovative legal advocacy and peer parent support that the Clinic provides to new mothers. The Clinic shows that believing in parents and investing in prevention works, with 83% of infants staying together with their mothers. What is happening in your community to ensure that families are supported at birth rather than separated? #legal #advocacy #community #insight #familywellbeing #thrivingfamilies #childwelfare
