Family Intervention Program
The Family Intervention Program’s goal is to remove significant barriers that prevent Latino and African American individuals and families from seeking traditional counseling services.

Services provided by the Family Intervention Program include:
- intensive home-based case management that emphasizes a continuity of care
- home-based alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) counseling that emphasizes relapse prevention
- a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates parents, peers, school personnel, outpatient substance abuse and mental health providers, support groups, and advocacy services
