OFS offers treatment and support to individuals or families who have experienced family
violence, emotional and sexual abuse, rape and other traumatic incidents or
patterns.
Individuals who suffer from current or post childhood trauma learn to express
their feelings, to increase their ability to cope, decrease
powerlessness, and gain support from others who have experienced similar
incidents.
Offering specialized outpatient treatment and psycho-educational services to
children and adults who are at risk or are victims of physical/sexual abuse,
Family Trauma/Violence services include individual, family and group treatment
for persons exposed to family trauma.
Psychiatric evaluations, clinical services and medication reviews are
available at 5 locations in Oakland County, provided by masters-level social
workers and counselors, masters-level and Ph.D. psychologists, and
board-certified, state licensed psychiatrists.
The program serves anyone who meets criteria indicating high risk (e.g.,
family history of or current threat of violence, history of or current
substance abuse, history of significant loss, memory lapses, frozen feelings,
isolation, eating disorders, sexual promiscuity, sexual performance issues) or
is a victim of family trauma.
Families admitted to the program are screened for peripheral issues and
referred to the appropriate program within the OFS network or to the other
appropriate providers.
