FACE is a point of entry for families with youth ages 0-19 who are seeking services for social, emotional, or behavioral concerns. Each family will be assigned a clinical case manager who will partner with them from the beginning to make sure that appropriate services are received as well as to support the family.
Services:
We strive to improve access to high quality services that support the health and wellbeing of Boone County youth and families. We support families in connecting to resources ranging from counseling and parenting support to after school activities, and basic provisions such as food and clothing.
Access to a supportive and friendly single point of entry that accepts referrals from all Boone County entities (e.g., families, youth, schools, agencies, etc.).
Access to trained and licensed professionals who will guide families through an evaluation of youth and family strengths (i.e., things that are working well) and needs (i.e., areas that require support).
Access for youth and families to increased choice of local service providers (e.g., organizations, agencies, programs, resources, and services) to address areas of need.
Access to trained and licensed case managers to assist youth and families to overcome common barriers to accessing services (e.g., lack of options, transportation, cost, etc.).
Free counseling for families with youth ages 0 - 19. After a brief needs assessment, families unable to pay for mental health services will be connected to a community provider to receive up to 10 free counseling sessions.
All residents of Boone County are eligible for FACE services free of charge. Request Services
