(PACT)
Funding Source: Department
of Children and Family Services
Parents and Children Together originated as
a child abuse specialty program at South Bay Center for Counseling
and has expanded to provide comprehensive prevention, intervention,
and treatment services to at-risk children (0-17) and their
families. The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS)
and Dependency Court referrals remain the majority of our
target population. Services include individual, conjoint,
couples, family, and group counseling; DCFS approved parenting
classes, and case management. The Parents and Children Together
Program provides services on-site at South Bay Center for
Counseling, home-based support/counseling (for families with
transportation difficulties or extenuating circumstances),
and offsite counseling at several elementary/middle schools.
All services are offered on a sliding scale
fee based on ability to pay. No one is turned away for lack
of financial resources.
Services offered at onsite, at several elementary
schools in the South Bay, as well as the Los Angeles Unified
School District.
