Family & Emergency Supportive Services
The Family and Emergency Supportive Services department (FSS) focuses on the assistance of those in crisis in our communities. These individuals and families facing a crisis situation affects their ability to address and or manage on their own due to the barriers of knowledge, resources, finances, skills, and support. Prince of Peace Center has seen an increase due to the pandemic in need of an immediate intervention. While some amount of stress is a normal response and should be expected, an overwhelming amount of stress can be unhealthy and on multiple areas in one’s life hence effecting their families and communities. Family Supportive Services addresses and meets the needs that are producing a negative response on families and the community providing crisis intervention and crisis managment.
