Functional Family Therapy-Child Welfare (FFT-CW)

Support that fits the needs of the whole family.

Functional Family Therapy Child Welfare (FFT-CW) helps families with children who are just born to 18 years of age. Our team offers support that fits the needs of the whole family. We focus on the positive by helping improve how everyone talks to and treats each other. We help parents and kids with their behavioral challenges, mental health issues, and problems with drugs or alcohol. Our services are for the whole family.

How We Work With You

What Services Do We Provide?

To help families, we provide:
  1. Group Counseling: We have sessions where the whole family can join.
  2. Crisis Services: For families with an immediate need, we can help right away.
  3. Care Coordination: We help families keep track of their care and support.
We also help connect families to other resources from The Jewish Board, like one-on-one counseling. Plus, we can assist families in getting benefits and services that we don’t offer ourselves.

How Do We Help?

When a family joins our program, we talk with them to learn about their needs. Based on what we learn, we offer one of two services:
  • For families with an urgent need, we provide more immediate services like intensive in-home counseling.
  • For families who want to improve specific behaviors over time, we help them set goals, create a care plan, and receive clinical services.
Both care plans include meeting with the family weekly for 5 to 7 months, with at least two home visits per month.

Eligibility and Cost

We are here for families with children from birth to 18 years old where high-risk behaviors are present. FFT-CW is free for all families who qualify. To qualify, the child must live with a permanent family member or caretaker or be returning within 30 days of referral.

We welcome families of all races, ethnicities, religions, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. If a family member is suicidal or in severe mental distress, please call 988 immediately.
