Counseling:
The Counseling Program involves the provision of individual, marital, family and/or group therapy/counseling to address a wide range of mental health concerns. Master’s level therapists, all of whom have advanced skills and training in family dynamics and systems interventions, provide services within this program, including Employee Assistance Program (EAP) counseling. Counseling is an invaluable resource to families and individuals in terms of need. An individualized treatment plan identifies the strengths/weaknesses and outlines treatment goals and time frames for completion of services. To qualify for the sliding fee, a client must live or work in Bartholomew County and meet income requirements.
No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay; and there is a Discounted/Sliding Fee Scale available. Family Life Education The Comprehensive Family Life Education (FLE) program provides research-based educational curriculum in a safe classroom setting. The curriculum is designed to provide families with information and coping strategies when they are experiencing problems with parenting, going through divorce, or with anger issues in the home, school, and workplace. Our trained class facilitators are available to help participants understand and apply what they learn.
