Description of Services

| 
FAAR services are available in the North Central, Worcester East, Worcester West and South Central DCF service areas.
Within seventy-two (72) hours of referral, an intake will be scheduled with the youth, family, DCF social worker and FAAR staff to begin the intensive home-based family services. FAAR includes three months of up to two hours weekly home-based therapy (family, parent, sibling, individual) with a liscensed or master's-level clinician, one hour weekly communitybased youth support, case management/case coordination with additional providers, a comprehensive Biopsychosocial Assessment, and regular service/transition planning. Finally, up to twenty-one days of respite in a professional foster home or facility-based assessment center are available for youth at any point during the program.
The intensity and duration of the service can be easily adjusted according to the expressed needs of the family. DCF-granted extensions beyond the three month average period are available.
