NewYork-Presbyterian’s Division of Community and Population Health connects community residents with medical and behavioral health care through a wide range of community health programs for children, adolescents, and adults. The Family PEACE Trauma Treatment Center (FPTTC) and CHALK (Choosing Healthy & Active Lifestyles for Kids) are two community programs that focus on early childhood and offer direct services to parents with young children. The programs have partnered to adapt and implement the Family and the Food Matters for Pregnant Women (FFM-PW) and the Family and Food Matters for Caregivers and Kids (FFM-CK) educational curricula. These curricula will be used to further the community service goals of New York Presbyterian to strengthen family relationships, mitigate toxic stress and encourage residents of their communities to become advocates for their own health and their family members’ health. The implementation of these curricula will assess the benefits of applying the FFM-PW and FFM-CK programs within their communities.
