Family Service & Guidance Center introduces new program for kids, substance use
TOPEKA (KTMJ) - Family Service & Guidance Center is partnering with Washburn University to provide a new program for kids and teens. Pam Evans, marketing & development director, stopped by FOX 43 AM Live Monday with the details.
Evans said the new Substance Use Treatment program is meant to be a one-stop shop where kids who are living with mental health challenges and using substances can be treated for both issues at the same time. FSGC is partnering with Washburn to get some of the existing mental health professionals trained in substance use treatment in order to be able to treat both challenges at once at the same facility.
