Family Solutions is a private, not-for profit home and community based agency developed to provide counseling and supportive services to children and families who are at-risk for experiencing out of home placement or have had children removed from the home. It is our belief that children should grow up with their families.
Our Mission
The philosophy of Family Solutions, Inc. is based on the belief in the importance and strength of the family as the primary care provider of children. We understand that raising a family is difficult work but believe that all families are capable of providing for the safe and healthy development of its members and are experts over their own lives. Utilizing the principles of Family Preservation and Family Systems theory, Family Solutions seeks to enhance the abilities of families to maintain safe and supportive environments in order to prevent out of home placement of children, or to reunify families when placement has become necessary. We strive to promote family-focused practice among youth and family professionals, and to advocate on behalf of families and services to families.
