Help When You Need It Most…
We partner with local agencies, trauma-informed care specialists, community leaders, and childcare providers to identify and support children in need of healing from the effects of violence. Our services include assessments to understand how violence may be impacting your child, therapy for children, siblings, and caregivers, and parent education on healthy child development and essential parenting skills taught by experts.
Early Childhood Development Screening (ASQ®-3)
At Prime’s Safe Haven Program, we utilize the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ®-3) to assess developmental progress in children from one month to 5 ½ years old. This nationally recognized, parent-friendly tool empowers caregivers to take an active role in their child’s growth while aligning with our trauma-informed, wraparound approach. By identifying strengths and delays early, we help ensure children in Auburn Gresham, Ashburn, and South Chicago have the greatest chance to thrive and reach their full potential.
