Functional Family Therapy
Delivering evidence-based family-strengthening counseling in the home setting.
Functional Family Therapy [FFT] is a unique, family-focused program that helps families with youth who are at risk create and maintain long-term change. Families who complete FFT experience a lower rate of similar problems with their other children and the youth who are being served achieve a lower rate of recidivism.
RFS is the only designated FFT provider for families in Yamhill County. The RFS FFT program has been in operation for more than four years and is designed for youth:
- who are cognitively, psychiatrically and developmentally able to participate (generally 10 and older, not actively psychotic or suicidal, etc.)
- who are engaging in risky and/or ‘acting out’ (delinquent) activities
- for whom an out of home placement is NOT planned or pending
- who have a family able to participate with them
