About Us: Therapy for Young Children First Responders
Our Journey and Mission
Founded in 2017, Therapy for Young Children First Responders (TYCFR) was born out of a passion to support and educate first responders—parents, caregivers, teachers, and medical professionals—in the realm of therapy for young children. The idea emerged from the personal experience of our founder, who witnessed the challenges faced by families navigating early childhood mental health issues. Recognizing a critical gap in accessible information, we set out on a mission to empower these essential guardians with knowledge and tools to foster healthy development in children.

- 2019: We expanded our team, adding subject matter experts in child psychology, speech therapy, and special education. This growth allowed us to create comprehensive guides and workshops tailored to different age groups and developmental stages.
- 2020: During the global pandemic, TYCFR became a vital resource for families and first responders on the frontlines, offering valuable insights into managing children’s mental health during challenging times.
- 2021: We introduced live virtual workshops, bringing experts directly to our audience for interactive learning experiences.
- 2022: Today, TYCFR boasts a thriving community of over 50,000 members worldwide, contributing to an online tapestry of support and knowledge exchange.

Addressing an Internet Information Gap:
The internet abounds with content on child development, but much of it is either too general or lacks the depth required for first responders dealing with specific challenges.
