Family & Children’s Place provides services in Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana:

Child and Family Services is a broad-based family and individual counseling program serving child and adult victims of violence with proven interventions. Without proper assistance, children who experience abuse are more likely to commit crimes, abuse alcohol and drugs, and suffer from depression. Children may suffer lifelong effects without treatment.

HANDS provides voluntary visitation for first time and expectant parents that begins during pregnancy or shortly after the child’s birth. Our services help foster healthy pregnancy and births, stable child growth and development, safe homes and self-sufficient families.

The Kosair Charities Child Advocacy Center is the region’s only facility dedicated to the intervention and treatment of child sexual abuse. The KCCAC brings together the expertise of our staff, police, physicians, Child Protective Services and the Commonwealth's Attorney. Forensic medical exams, specialized interviews and mental health assessments are provided to assure families receive needed services.

Family & School Services are structured school-based programs designed to provide after school support to improve academic success and parent engagement. We emphasize character building, learning, social competencies, building a core support team between student, parent and school.

Family Stabilization Program provides assistance for families and individuals at high risk of homelessness. We help families develop their own plan to become stable, self-sufficient and maintain safe housing as well as providing crisis intervention.

PAL is a Drug Free Communities Program representing the Parkhill, Algonquin, and Old Louisville neighborhoods in Louisville. The program focuses on promoting resiliency and enhancing young people’s ability to resist risks and make good decisions. We believe these youth and community partners can have a profound effect on preventing violence in the lives of children and families.
