“Addressing parent-teen conflict through a 6-week in-home family counseling program; professional services, providing therapeutic mental health counseling by referral from dcfs; positive parenting program (ppp), giving parents simple and practical strategies to help manage their children's behavior, prevent problems from developing, and build strong and healthy relationships; and family preservation services (fps), focusing on improving family functioning and helping families connect to local community resources.

“Domestic violence, teens who were kidnapped and have suffered all types of violence. No other agency in the area can offer these services in spanish with culturally competency. Our commitment and vision is to continue enhancing our counseling and advocacy team and decreasing the barriers and disparities overall that the latino communities we serve are facing.”

“Year. This was accomplished thanks to the dedication of 60 volunteers-- many of them bilingual-- in the different course programs. The holistic nature of cielo's services is unique. Our programs and activities together address the whole person, multigenerational and extended latino families, and the diverse range of needs in latino communities. We meet the individual and the family where they are in their present circumstances by providing a safe and supportive environment which affirms their varied life experiences and cultural identities. Vulnerable spanish-speaking individuals and families, struggling in isolation, find at cielo a vibrant latino community which welcomes them, honors their courage and integrity, and encourages their active participation in creating their own path toward greater family resilience, stability, and a successful future.”
