We are keeping families together and reuniting disrupted families through the intensive in-home service Families Centered Treatment (FCT). This program is intended to result in long term sustainability for families. We not only have the opportunity to directly affect the outcomes for current families, but also for generations to come as children see a positive shift in their family system and carry that into their future families.
What is Family Centered Treatment?
Family Centered Treatment (FCT) supports families experiencing difficulties associated with child abuse, neglect, juvenile delinquency, child or parental developmental disabilities or mental health problems. A licensed clinician will provide in-home, intensive services to children and parents which addresses family functioning, individual and generational traumas that have gone unaddressed, and focuses on changes in how a family experiences each other in order to ensure stability and long term success. FCT services are “non-traditional,” guiding families in integrating changes into their own family value system and aimed at strengthening a families’ independence as well as the value of giving back to others in their community.
What families are appropriate for FCT
Families with a child with behavioral and/or emotional needs that prohibits the child's ability to remain in school or in their community.
These families are experiencing:
• A Child(ren) reentering their family home from residential placement
• Potential removal of children from the home
• Multiple children in multiple placements
• A history of poor outcomes from prior mental health services
• A child who is a Juvenile Offender who has required residential placement or crisis services
What services are provided
Therapeutic interventions focused on family functioning
Trauma informed interventions
Experiential based sessions
24 hour crisis response
Case Management
What makes Family Centered Treatment Different?
Transparency – we know that, at times, we will have to say the tough things to families. We commit to them that we will always be honest and direct with our feedback. It is important for families to trust their clinician and to know where they stand with their clinician. In order to build meaningful trust, we will inform families of any information that we expect to share with stakeholders. *With the exception of high risk behaviors that fall within mandated reporting requirements
Feedback is a two-way street with families and with social workers. We commit to giving and receiving feedback as a way for each of us to grow. We will request feedback from families and social workers on a consistent basis.
Families are the experts on their own family.
Family-Centered services versus Individual services which empowers families and supports in family system change.
Value Change Phase requires families to determine if they truly value the changes they have made versus temporary compliance. This is a critical phase in treatment and unique to FCT.
Power of Giving is a process which positions families into a Giving role and out of the Receiving role as a method for discovery of their inherent worth and dignity.
