FINS (Families In Need of Services)

"FINS or Families In Need of Services" is dedicated to the intervention of truancy, ungovernable behavior by juveniles, runaway, possession or consumption of intoxicating substances and failure of caretakers to attend meetings regarding their child’s problematic behavior in school.

FINS is designed to bring together resources for the purpose of helping youth and their families to remedy self-destructive behaviors by juveniles and/or other family members. FINS goals are to reduce formal juvenile court involvement whenever possible while generating appropriate community services to benefit the child and improve family relations. The FINS Program is committed to encouraging maximum cooperation among service providers and at all times, preserving the dignity of the family.
