Description
Family Solutions for Kids
The Family Solutions for Kids program provides short-term, intensive, community-based intervention and clinical support to children facing mental health challenges, trauma, grief, family conflict, academic difficulties, and major life transitions. Licensed therapists meet with the child and family up to three hours weekly over 13-15 weeks, providing in-home services that reduce barriers and promote emotional regulation and lasting change. We are uniquely flexible in meeting the family’s availability, including evenings. Our approach is culturally responsive, strength-based, and tailored to each child’s needs. We begin with a comprehensive assessment focused on trust-building, listening to each person’s story and concerns, seeking to identify strengths and challenges. A treatment plan is then developed that reflects the family’s lived experiences, values, and goals. FSK partners with families to create meaningful solutions and strengthen lasting skills to reduce behavioral challenges.
