Family Intervention Crisis Services (FICS)
What is the FICS program? The FICS program is an invitation for families to experience a unique opportunity for healing and growth. FICS is an in-home intensive individual and family therapy program whose very framework is designed to offer true empowerment. FICS joins with families in such a way that creates the opportunity for learning and growth to occur. One example of this is that FICS offers around the clock availability for crisis that may arise when a family is out of harmony. When thinking about families, there are some unique challenges. What families need means different things to different people. This is why FICS spans a variety of services on a continuum of needs. Some of these services are targeted to address basic needs such as concrete services, pro-social programs and psychosocial educational opportunities. At the same time, FICS offers services that address more intimate needs such as counseling involving some of the most important relationships in life-individual, couple, and family. The combination of clinical wisdom and self-awareness provide clients with an open door to experience change and the freedom that comes with it. While the focus of FICS services revolves around children’s safety, the opportunities to experience growth in a variety of areas also exist. https://fics1988.com/
