Family Counseling and Shelter Services helps the community by providing low-cost counseling, emergency shelter, and advocacy for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, ensuring safety and support for vulnerable individuals. Through programs like emotional support, court accompaniment, and assistance with personal protection orders, it empowers families to overcome challenges. Community members can contribute by donating, participating in events like the Annual Golf Classic, or volunteering, directly supporting those in need of mental health and safety services.

In December, 2016, FCSS celebrated its 50th Anniversary of providing essential services all across Monroe County. Today, we continue to operate three key programs including Professional Counseling, Domestic Violence Emergency Shelter and Advocacy, and the Domestic and Sexual Violence Support Services (DSVSS) Division which provides advocacy for victims, and prevention/intervention for batterers. We continue to evaluate and respond to the growing and changing social service needs of our community and to meet our Agency mission and vision.
