Partner Spotlight: DA Blodget St. Johns

What programs do you offer for young children and their families?
We offer a variety of children and family services focused on attachment, trauma, developmental disabilities, juvenile delinquency and much more. We serve those who are pregnant, newborns to 18 years old. Our mission is help children and empower families by providing safety, advocacy and support. Our goal is to keep families together, no matter what obstacle they are facing.

How do families enroll in your programs?
Eligibility depends on the program. Contact info@dabsj.org for more information.

How does your organization use parent voice to inform your programs?
Parents and caregivers are our equal partners through any service. Along with their child(ren), they are the driver of treatment planning and services throughout. At DABSJ, we view the parent/caregiver as their children’s one true constant. Services come and go but parents should be forever.
