The Family Support Center, a nonprofit, service organization, helps both independent and public school staff and families prevent, recognize, and overcome mental health and behavior problems in children and adolescents from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. The Center offers a full range of social services to families and schools in the Washington metropolitan area. Focusing on the child's behavior and performance as a vehicle for identifying a problem related to mental health, alcohol or other drug abuse, the Center's work supports healthy emotional growth and development through educational programs, consultation, and intervention.

The Family Support Center is unique, because it is a single source of integrated comprehensive professional services, including training workshops, continuing education programs, in-school guidance services, and clinical consultations to families, administrators, teachers, and other school staff. All programs are flexible, cost-effective, and tailored to the needs of each school community.
