COMMUNITY COUNSELING
Connections Individual and Family Services provides short-term, strengths-based counseling services.
Connections does not provide legal counsel, does not make recommendations to the courts about a child’s future custody, and does not represent families in court.
Family and Youth Success (FAYS) Program
Connections Individual and Family Services is a proud Texas Health and Human Services Commission partner, providing Family and Youth Success (FAYS, formerly known as STAR) services at no cost to families with children 6 to 17 years old. At Connections, we believe family and community play an integral part in the success of children and adolescents.
FAYS services include individual, group, and family counseling as well as parenting and adolescent psychoeducational classes. Thanks to FAYS Program funding through the state's Prevention and Early Intervention division, services for this program are provided at no cost to clients.
Connections provides short-term, strengths-based counseling services. Connections does not provide legal counsel, does not make recommendations to the courts about a child’s future custody, and does not represent families in court.
