Washington, D.C.

The goal of all programs offered by FPS - DC is to minimize reliance on out-of-home therapeutic placement by providing high quality services to families in their own home and community. Services are geared towards reducing the recurrence of escalating events within the home, and are time-limited and intensive. Our experience in other geographic areas has shown us that we can gain positive results with short-term interventions and effective follow-up.

Behavioral health interventions include a wrap-around approach offered in the child's natural setting. This includes counseling, case management, and referral to community-based sources of support. Each intervention focuses on both the child and family. These services are available for children and families twenty-four hours a day seven days per week. Intensity of service levels may begin with up to 40 hours per week at the beginning of treatment and decrease over time as the family becomes more self-directive within a network of community-based support.

It is the intent of FPS - DC to provide services that meet the needs of children within the Wards of the District of Columbia. Our plan is to work with a broad representation of different community agencies to create and provide programs that allow us to meet this goal.

All care is designed to improve the abilities of clients and their families who may have a mental illness, emotional disturbance, or struggle with substance abuse. The services offered to meet their needs include natural setting assessment, mental health interventions, skills training, self and family management, and coordination/linkage with other covered services/supports.
