Functional Family Therapy - Producing Results

Heather was referred to the Partnership's Functional Family Therapy Program by the court for defiance of her mother’s rules and violent fights that resulted in the police frequently being called to their home. Heather's mom was hopeless and threatened to put Heather out of her home. Tensions rose even more when Heather found out she was pregnant. The FFT therapist worked very hard to reduce the level of conflict in the home and gave them skills to help them cope with their emotions. This family is now engaged in each other’s lives. Heather's mom says that this program "gave me back my baby." Learn more about the exciting new program by clicking here.
