Our Family and Community Treatment (FACT) program is a home-based treatment service that works with the entire family of a youth with a mental health diagnosis. By providing the resources and skills of a multi-disciplinary team, FACT builds on youth and family strengths to promote healthy family functioning.

Working with entire families allows us to help them expand their network of support, develop crucial skills, and coordinate psychiatric and educational services. It also allows us to celebrate the many successes they experience in their time with us, and beyond!

FACT services can be requested through Integrated Services of Kalamazoo at 269-373-6000.

We were thrilled to spend time at @walmartgullroad this week to accept a donation to our HANDLE WITH CARE Annual Fund, our fund that meets immediate needs and provides direct client services when there is no other source in the community.

For 121 years, Family & Children Services has provided a continuum of care for youth and families in Southwestern Michigan. We have been able to serve the most under resourced in our community because of partners like Walmart.

Thank you Walmart #5064 on Gull Road, for your continued partnership and congratulations on your grand re-opening of the store!
