Communities For People (CFP) supports disadvantaged and at-risk youth in the Greater Boston,Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island areas. CFP provides youth with home-based and outpatient services, emergency shelter, and long-term transitional living situations. CFP also offers at-risk children and youth safe, stable, and loving homes through its Intensive Foster Care / Adoption Program, which places sibling groups and children and youth dealing with serious, ongoing emotional, behavioral, or physical issues.

%newline%Our counseling programs run from traditional talk therapies to innovative alternative therapies. Talk therapies include \"My Life, My Choice\" groups, designed to help youth who have engaged in prostitution or exchanged sex for food, shelter, or gifts, and the \"Nurturing Parents\" group, required for all pregnant and parenting youth participating in CFP's residential programs. Alternative therapies include Therapeutic Sports and Group Drumming.

%newline%The foundation for all of CFP's programs is the belief that each individual, family, and community has its own unique strengths, and all depend on one another in order to flourish. CFP's approach to supporting youth, families, and their communities is to cultivate the strengths of each in order to foster the empowerment of all. Our goal is to help youth to thrive individually, within their families, and as part of their communities.
