Family Functional Therapy(FFT)

 

What is FFT?

Family Functional Therapy (FFT) is a short-term, high-quality intervention program with a primary focus on youth aged 11-18 at risk of, or already demonstrating, emotional and behavioral problems. FFT is a family-based prevention and intervention program that brings family members together to facilitate constructive communication and problem solving.

Why FFT?

  • Evidence-Based: FFT is grounded in decades of clinical research, proving its effectiveness in transforming the lives of troubled youth and their families.
  • Family-Centered: Unlike approaches that focus solely on the individual, FFT understands the family as a system and recognizes that changes in one aspect of the system can bring about changes in others.
  • Cost-Effective: As a short-term intervention typically ranging from 8-12 sessions, FFT is designed to be more affordable and less resource-intensive than other treatment options.

How Does FFT Work?

  1. Engagement Phase: The first step aims to reduce resistance and engage the family in the treatment process.
  2. Behavior Change Phase: This involves skill training for youth and their family, teaching them how to improve communication and solve problems more effectively.
  3. Generalization Phase: In the final phase, families are aided in connecting with extended family and supportive systems to maintain the positive changes over the long term.

Who Can Benefit?

  • Youth demonstrating delinquent behavior
  • Families in conflict
  • Youth with substance abuse issues
  • Families undergoing significant life transitions

By addressing the root causes and the family dynamics, FFT not only resolves the immediate issues but also builds a strong foundation for long-term success.
