Caring For Family Life (CFFL)
Caring For Family Life (CFFL) provides intensive clinical and case management to families with children that are at risk of neglect or maltreatment. CFFL offers the services that families need in order to prevent child abuse and foster care placement. Since 1982, CFFL has been a preventive contract agency with Administration for Children's Services (ACS). The program is focused on keeping children safe and working to strengthen their families.
21st Century Teen Program
21st Century Teen Program is a comprehensive team approach that works with youth to complete high school. It is designed to meet the educational and social needs of youth who might have a history of truancy and/or are in danger of failing out of school. It is a safe place that challenges young people to explore who they are and where they want to go. Youth are introduced to a cooperative environment and experience learning through adventure-based activities.
Parenting Classes
Parenting Classes are offered on Tuesdays from 10-11am or 6:30-7:30pm.  Parents learn discipline skills, early child development, and connect to other parents experiencing similar situations.
Anger Management
Anger Management is a 14-week program for individuals for whom anger has impaired their relationships, job and social life. The program offers participants an opportunity to understand their anger, distinguish anger from aggression, and examine the underlying beliefs about anger.
Batterer's Intervention Program
Batterer's Intervention Program is a psycho-educational program for men working to avoid being abusive in their relationships. The classes offer an opportunity for men to take responsibility for their actions and make positive changes in their behavior.
Holographic Repatterning (HR)
Holographic Repatterning (HR) is a therapeutic modality that uses light, sound, and body movement to help clients create positive change in any area where they experience limitation. HR is based on a foundation of principles from physics and psychology, the ancient knowledge of the Chakra system of India, and the Five Element-Meridian system of China. Through HR, clients are able to identify how they can see problems as opportunities.
