What is Functional Family Therapy (FFT)?
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is an evidence-based intensive, short-term, family-based treatment for youth exhibiting problematic behaviors and at-risk for justice system involvement or out of home placement. Services take place in both home and clinic settings and consist of 12 to 20 family sessions over the course of three to eight months. FFT interventions address family and youth risk factors to reduce problematic behavior in phases: engagement & motivation, behavior change, and generalization.
Population Served
FFT is for youth, and their families, between the ages of 11-18 who have serious behavior problems such as delinquency, conduct disorder, disruptive behavior, violence, acting-out, and substance use.
