Pressley Ridge Expands Family Centered Treatment Services Across Multiple States
Pittsburgh, PA (January 26, 2026) – Pressley Ridge has expanded its reach to support families in multiple states through Family Centered Treatment (FCT), an evidence‑based, intensive, home‑based therapy designed to help families stay safely together. Pressley Ridge now provides FCT in Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and Texas, bringing life‑changing support directly to families where they need it most.
“Healthy families are the foundation of a child’s success, and Pressley Ridge is dedicated to providing the supports that help families stay strong,” said Susanne Cole, President & CEO of Pressley Ridge. “Expanding Family Centered Treatment aligns with our long-term strategy to grow family preservation services with models that are proven to make a meaningful difference.”
Pressley Ridge delivers this nationally recognized model as an approved provider through the Family Centered Treatment Foundation. Providing four or more hours of intensive support each week over six months, FCT strengthens family relationships, improves emotional well-being, builds resiliency and addresses systemic trauma through practical, experiential strategies. The model equips families facing complex challenges – including trauma, behavioral health concerns and substance use – with the skills and tools needed for long-term stability and safety.
Family Centered Treatment delivers proven results. Over the past three decades and across more than 40,000 families, research consistently shows that nine out of ten families report meaningful, positive change in their lives. The model’s sustainable approach creates the strength families need to begin healing and building long-term well-being.
“Families show incredible resilience when they have the right support,” said Amy Fenn, Executive Director of Family Preservation Services for Pressley Ridge. “By bringing Family Centered Treatment to more communities, we’re offering more families the chance to heal, rebuild trust, and create lasting safety and stability.
