Family Services are provided in agency facilities, community-based locations, hospitals, correctional facilities, and clients’ homes and include early childhood services, supportive individual and family therapy,  parent education, mentoring and counseling, family counseling and case management, intensive individual and family therapy, mental health and psychiatric treatment, trauma services, substance abuse services, children’s substance abuse outpatient and intervention, adult substance abuse counseling and support, medical foster care, resource referral and coordination and targeted case management for children and adults

The Family Services program supports JWB’s Strategic Plan goal of expanding programs that provide comprehensive services to families of young children within the three global areas of concern, which are school readiness, school success, and reduction of abuse and neglect. The Total Family Strategy (TFS) program, is also a part of Family Services and it provides services within all three facets of the above global areas and offers LIEF Entitled child care to both TFS and Child Protective Investigation (CPI) cases via a collaborative of JWB, CCC, and the Suncoast Center Inc.
