What is Family Centered Treatment?
& How it Works..
- FCT is an evidence-based trauma treatment model of home-based family therapy focusing on holistic, family derived goals related to family functioning, preservation, permanency, and reunification.
- FCT aides in identifying practical solutions for those faced with disruption or dissolution of the family due to external and/or internal circumstances such as child welfare, mental health, substance abuse, developmental disabilities, and juvenile justice.
- A core belief of FCT is that recipients are great people with tremendous internal strengths and resources. Goals are collaboratively developed from these resiliency factors. Families engage in experiential activities inclusive of cultural, generational, systemic, and trauma influences.
- The 4-phase model is rooted in Eco Structural Family Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy enhanced with practitioner feedback and family voice. Families uncover inherent values and beliefs while restoring safety, belongingness and connectedness.
