Youth Programming

We believe every child deserves someone that believes in them.
Family Service Agency’s Youth Programming provides mentorship, social-emotional groups, counseling, and school-based services for youth in DeKalb County!
School-Based Services
School-Based Services provides mental health, social-emotional services, and education to children in DeKalb County schools.
Intake Paperwork
Our services include:
- Alternative to Suspension allows youth to serve their out-of-school suspension at FSA while connecting them with academic assistance, assessments, counseling, and suspension prevention focused on their presenting issues.
- Individual counseling in a school setting. This program addresses the specific needs of those experiencing challenging situations. Students can be referred for a comprehensive assessment to determine if additional services are needed.
- Classroom education on bullying, substance abuse, anger management, mental health, friendship, and more.
- Bullying prevention is an effective tool to prevent and reduce incidents and severity of bullying behaviors in schools, including cyberbullying. Students learn that behaviors have negative actions and how to replace them with positive steps to feel good about themselves.
