Family Crisis Intervention Unit (FCIU) helps youth and families resolve problems before they escalate to a crisis or the point of court involvement. The program provides immediate, year-round, 24/7 crisis response and stabilization services to divert youth from involvement with the youth justice system.
FCIU staff are trained to manage the challenges that arise with family dynamics and the various issues youth may experience, such as issues with truancy, disregard for rules, runaway behavior, sex trafficking, and family conflict or crisis situation. The program offers a flexible schedule to accommodate families. Staff support families to resolve and improve severe behavioral and school-related problems, and to prevent the need for court involvement and out-of-home placement.
FCIU provides:
- supportive counseling, assessment and case management
- services to promote positive youth development
- conflict resolution and coping skills for adolescents and their families
- short term counseling & case management to stabilize the family and prevent out of home placement
- linkages to available community resources
- advocacy and community collaboration support

- services in-person at our office, in-home, in-community, by phone, or via telehealth
FCIU provides support to divert adolescents from the justice system. Our trained professional staff focus on encouraging safe choices and behaviors in an effort to promote safe, healthy futures for children and their families.
