Family Interaction Skills Clinic
The Family Interaction Skills Clinic (FISC) offers mental health consultation, assessment, and treatment for children, adolescents, and their families through collaborative partnerships with community agencies. For Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders Country, consultation services are provided for families enrolled in Early Head Start/Head Start (EHS/HS) center-based and home-based programs. Research efforts primarily examine prevention of and risk factors for child maltreatment in EHS/HS families. At the Child Advocacy Center, Project SAFE delivers individual and group therapy to youth who have experienced sexual abuse and their non-offending family members. Clinical research efforts evaluate the Project SAFE intervention program and examine the factors that influence the heterogeneous symptom presentation of children and adolescents who experience sexual abuse. Drs. David J. Hansen, Mary Fran Flood, and Corrie Davies provide supervision and leadership for FISC activities.

SAC provides individual therapy, which is tailored to the client's specific needs and focuses on both abstinence-based and harm reduction approaches and intensive outpatient therapy ( IOT ), which is reserved for individuals mandated to substance abuse treatment from the University and local agencies and is designed to motivate clients to change their use patterns, and address difficulties in quitting.
