2026-11-03

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services , Division for Behavioral Health , ( Department ), is seeking responses to this Request for Proposals (“ Solicitation ” or “ RFP ”) from qualified Vendors to provide statewide research - informed programs and practices to crisis centers that utilize a whole - family approach to mitigate and prevent the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences ( ACES ), for children from birth through age eighteen . The whole - family approach recognizes that children do not experience trauma in isolation , but within the context of their families and communities . Effective interventions must therefore engage not only the child , but also parents , guardians , and caregivers to build resilience , strengthen protective factors , and break cycles of adversity . This approach emphasizes coordinated supports that address the needs of the entire family unit — providing children with developmentally appropriate social - emotional learning opportunities , while equipping caregivers with parenting skills , peer support , and advocacy services . By fostering healthy family relationships and empowering caregivers , the whole - family approach ensures that children impacted by ACES receive consistent , nurturing environments that promote recovery and long - term well - being
