FFS counselors assist families receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) benefits who experience significant barriers to employment and self-sufficiency. Participants address mental health, domestic violence, alcohol and drug addiction, learning disabilities, parenting needs, and health issues.

Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL)
