The Family Plus Program

Our Family Plus program assists Louisiana's families who are experiencing emotional stress or difficulties within the family. The Family Plus program offers services designed to achieve family preservation or reunification. These services address the needs of children, youth and families at a local, community level. Family Plus offices are located in Shreveport, Ruston, Pineville, Monroe and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Some of the services provided by our Family Plus program include:

Consultations, assessments, referrals
Family, individual and group counseling
Seminars and workshops
Program development

The Family Plus program provides free in-home assessments for families who are experiencing behavioral difficulties with children. This assessment aids in identifying the specific needs of the children and their family. The Family Plus therapist may then offer referrals to the family which may be helpful in meeting those needs. In some cases, the therapist may offer out-patient therapy to the family to address a particularly stressful situation or crisis the family is facing.

The Family Plus program provides seminars, workshops, and program development assistance on local/regional basis to inform communities, educate families and train professionals. Some of the topics include, but are not limited to:

Parenting
Grief and loss
Anger management
Conflict resolution
Adolescent issues
Crisis debriefing
Adoption issues
Communication skills
Team building
