Our Culture and Mission:

We envision Fred Finch as a healing-centered organization where our diverse staff at all levels feels at home. We are committed to creating an environment where employees can thrive, grow, and explore opportunities. Together, we actively work on diversity within our organization and the communities we serve. Fred Finch Youth & Family Services partners with individuals and communities to provide culturally responsive services that cultivate mental and physical resilience and wellness. The Fred Finch CCTAY program provides comprehensive services for young adults or Transition Aged Youth (TAY) delivered by a team comprised of compassionate, committed multidisciplinary staff. The program's primary goals are to assist young adults in achieving their recovery-oriented goals, help them obtain and stabilize in housing, and build self-sufficiency skills to help them function effectively in their homes and communities. In line with the Fred Finch core values of respect, compassion, and hope, CCTAY staff treats each participant with dignity, compassion, mutual respect, and unconditional high regard. The CCTAY program draws from evidence-based and evidence-informed best practices to provide comprehensive, individualized services: The Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model informs how the multidisciplinary team operates and functions, while the Transition to Independence (TIP) model and Motivational Interviewing informs our interventions and treatment planning process. Individually designed services support participants to gain the skills, knowledge, and abilities to move successfully into adult life. Through their engagement in program services, participants learn to imagine and develop aspirations for the future. Our staff work with participants to establish a collaborative relationship and develop a service plan that centers around demonstrated needs, motivation, and attainable life goals. Staff provides a wide variety of supportive services designed to promote participant stability in their own community: mental health services; medication support; vocational/employment support and skills building; and educational and health linkages are all important elements of a comprehensive treatment.
