The Family Intensive Reunification and Stabilization Team (FIRST) is the first program of its kind program funded by the Department of Children and Families in the Cambridge-Somerville area. FIRST was designed to significantly reduce or eliminate the amount of time children spend in out of home placement by partnering with families and community providers to divert placement or accelerate the reunification process.

FIRST provides home-based clinical case management, including family work, case management services, brief respite and one-on-one support for family members. We also make referrals to other services, as needed.
