PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS!
FAMILY SUPPORT IS GROWING!
We are excited to announce the FAMS program is now offered in Western MA! The FAMS (Family Assessment and Mentoring Services), which provides supportive services to youth ages 12 to 22, has been a very successful program on Cape Cod under the leadership of Erin Devlin for many years. When Eddie Pacheco joined the family support team last year, he brought a vision and a drive to help the youth in Western Mass. Having a background in adolescent work, it seemed only natural to bring the program to Western Mass and to move Eddie into an instrumental role within the program. FAMS provides individualized services to each youth dependent upon their needs and identified goals. The program offers support in many different areas, including but not limited to: teaching life skills, educational advocacy, identifying resources, improving social engagement with peers, connecting with long term supports, and improving overall stability and relationships in the home environment. For information regarding the FAMS program, please contact Eddie Pacheco at 413-219-9369 or epacheco@helixhumanserviecs.org. FAMS MODEL NOW SERVING WESTERN MA!
