Functional Family Therapy
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is a strength-based model built on a foundation of acceptance and respect. FFT is a short-term, high-quality intervention program with an average of 12 to 14 sessions over three to five months. FFT works primarily with 11 to 18-year-old youth who have been referred for behavioral or emotional problems by the juvenile justice, mental health, school or child welfare systems. One primary goal of the FFT program is to reduce the recidivism rate among youth through evidence-based practices. Services are conducted in the home settings but not limited to schools, child welfare facilities, probation offices/aftercare systems and mental health facilities. FFT at its core is a focus on assessment and intervention to address risk and protective factors both within and outside of the family that impacts the adolescent and his or her adaptive development. Call 267-233-5866 for additional information.
