FEDERAL WAY YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES:
Federal Way Youth & Family Services (FWYFS) has served the human services needs of the Federal Way Community since 1973. In January 2002, FWYFS became a division of VCCC. FWYFS continues to provide the same high quality services and programs. FWYFS is committed to providing community-based, outpatient mental health services to children, families, and adults as well as family support services.

Child & Family Counseling Services:
Programming is designed to meet the varying needs of emotionally disturbed children, victims of trauma, and children, adults, and families in crisis. Both individual and family counseling are provided, as well as case management, crisis response, and psychiatric services. Services are provided in the office, homes, and schools. Treatment groups are also provided and include: Anger Management Group for Men and Women, Women's Support Group, Survivors of Domestic Violence Group, Divorce Group, Teen Life Skills Group, and Parenting Groups. All services are provided in collaboration with families, other child-serving systems, and community organizations.

Family Support Program Services:
Our three Family Support Centers are located within local residential communities. The Centers serve over 1200 children and adults each year, and are open to all children, adults, and families in the greater Federal Way area. Services are free of charge and participants can drop-in to register. Our programs focus on strengthening families by supporting positive communication among families, promoting family self-sufficiency, and helping children/teens build self-esteem with conflict resolution and social skills. Programs include After School Enrichment, Parent Training and Support, Family Advocacy Services, Computer Learning Centers, ESOL Classes, and Family and Community Activities and Events. The Family Support Program became nationally certified through Family Support America 12/03.
