First Coast Healing Hands

The First Coast Child Protection Team is a medically directed, multidisciplinary program based on the idea that child abuse and neglect involve complex issues and require the expertise of many professionals to protect children.  The team is made up of physicians, nurses, and medical professionals who complete assessments, interventions, therapy and service referrals to community agencies evaluating alleged maltreatments of child abuse and neglect. They assess risk factors and provide recommendations for interventions to protect children and enhance families’ capacities to provide a safer home environment when possible.  The team works 24/7 providing consultation by phone or through immediate, in-person emergency services – even during COVID-19.
