Program Overview
Family Centered Treatment (FCT) is an evidence-based, intensive in-home trauma treatment model designed to strengthen families and promote healing. Developed collaboratively by practitioners and families, FCT offers simple, practical, and common-sense solutions through experiential treatment.
This approach focuses on improving family health and well-being, fostering attachment and resiliency, and creating functional solutions for maladaptive behavioral patterns. By building on family strengths and addressing systemic trauma, FCT targets underlying causes rather than just symptoms.
Effective as both a stabilization and prevention service, as well as for reunification and restoration, FCT provides a comprehensive path toward lasting change and stronger family connections.
FCT provides more than four hours of intensive, in‑home care each week across multiple sessions. With an average caseload of just five families, practitioners offer highly individualized support throughout the six‑month program. A maximum 10:1 staff‑to‑supervisor ratio ensures strong clinical oversight, quality and consistency.
Who We Serve
Family Centered Treatment serves families as they define themselves, requiring only that at least one committed adult is available to participate, whether that adult is a biological parent, foster caregiver or pre/post‑adoptive parent.
