Family Help

Youth and families are eligible for Family Help program services if a child is threatening to run away or has run away, is beyond parental control, or is truant from school or at risk for these behaviors.

• Child is not dependent or parents/guardians are not under investigation for an allegation of abuse and/or neglect
• Child is not being supervised by the Department of Juvenile Justice

Services are provided to families on a voluntary basis, except in the case of truancy referrals by the local school system. Services include but are not limited to, assessment, individual, family, and group counseling, case management and referrals. Fees for services are based on a sliding scale but no family will be denied services based on an inability to pay.
