Family Support Services

Family Support Assistants help families identify and prioritize their service needs and access community resources to address those needs, such as:

Individual / Family Counseling Services

Any individual or family can feel overwhelmed or stressed at times. The birth of a new child, rearing children or grandchildren, relating with in-laws, the loss of a loved one, financial hardships, problems at school or work and single parenting are common stresses that individuals and families encounter. As stress mounts, family members may be unable to support each other and family members may begin to feel isolated, anxious or depressed. During these times, FS Counselors are available to help.

Solution-Oriented Counseling Services

Our Individual / Family Counseling Services are based on on Solution-Oriented Counseling. Master’s-level therapists assist clients in solving problems such as:

•  parent / child conflict

• marital conflict

• school-related difficulties

• divorce issues

• single parenting issues

• substance abuse

• work home issues

Solution-Oriented Counseling enables an individual or family to be its own source of support during times of crisis by reactivating existing coping skills or developing new ones to solve their problems.

FS Counselors are also available to help individuals infected with HIV or persons with AIDS, their families and significant others cope with the emotional issues associated with HIV/AIDS.
