CCDT started its first Crisis Intervention Centre (CIC) as part of its Residential Care Program (RCP), in the mid-90s with the objective of working towards overcoming the crisis faced by HIV / AIDS infected-affected children and their families and reintegrating them back into the communities/families they belong to. CCDT implements a comprehensive Residential Care Program that restores a wholesome childhood through health and nutritional care, psychosocial support, education, recreation, value education, life-skills, and economic empowerment. RCP supports more than 80 children and adolescents till 18 years of age staying in shelter homes of CCDT. Children (both girls and boys) below 12 years of age stay at Ashray, 12-18 years at Ankur (girls), and Aakaar (boys). Transit homes facilities namely Umang and Ashmita, cater separately to boys and girls in the age group of 18-21 years. Residential Care Program restores a wholesome childhood to children in crisis, providing opportunities for their growth and development till they are either reintegrated with their family, or extended family, or start living in group homes or on their own.
