Family and Social Needs Support

Family and social needs support is offered through Children's neighborhood based Family Care Connection centers (FCC) that are part of the Allegheny County Family Support network. FCC is a strengths-based family support program that works in partnership with families to meet their needs and help children achieve brighter futures. We provide home visiting and center-based services for infants, children, parents and families. Enrollment is free of charge, voluntary, and the intensity of service depends upon family needs and goals.

We take a holistic approach to family support with a unique combination of staffing that includes a registered nurse, child development specialist, family development specialist, community aide, fatherhood engagement specialist, health coach and a behavioral therapist.
