MULTICULTURAL FAMILY STRENGTHENING
TO IMPROVE
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

CMHS’s Multicultural Family Strengthening to Improve Learning and Development Program provides culturally competent care to cultural and linguistic minority children and their families in which family conflict, including violence, has occurred or is likely to occur. Most are refugees or immigrants in the Washington, D.C.-Northern Virginia metropolitan area who arrived in the United States within the last ten years. The overwhelming majority have demonstrated improved parenting and interpersonal communication skills.

One of the few fully state-certified batterers intervention programs that targets non-English-speaking batterers, this unique program takes a family approach, and contacts the spouses and victims of batterers to offer support and therapy.
