Overview
The Therapeutic Interagency Program for Preschoolers (TIP) is a unique community-based treatment program that has combined resources from:
- Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
- Children's Services
- Head Start / Local Schools
- Community Mental Health Providers
This year-round program for preschoolers intervenes when children have been abused and continue to be at-risk for future abuse, neglect and developmental problems. The children are in treatment daily and learn important resiliency and safety skills; as well as pre-academic skills.
There are approximately 1,000 abused children ages 3 to 5 in southern Ohio who could benefit from the Therapeutic Interagency Program. The program currently serves over 200 families a year in several Ohio counties and has received several requests for training across the USA.
This program is housed in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Cincinnati Children's. For more information please contact the Program Director at 513- 636-8390 or jane.sites@cchmc.org.
