Help for at-risk youth

Family Assessment Program (FAP) | NYC Administration for Children’s Services (ACS)

Family Services Everyone

Families can get help with everyday problems, such as children skipping school or substance use, through the Family Assessment Program (FAP). FAP helps families deal with situations without involving the courts.

  • FAP staff will talk to your family about your concerns and offer some options for help.
  • They can refer you to support in or close to your home such as:
    • Crisis intervention
    • Mediation
    • Family counseling
    • Substance abuse services
    • Domestic violence programs
    • Anger management programs
    • Mental health services

Who is eligible

  • Children up to 18 years old and their families who are struggling to relate to one another can get help.
  • Any family can get help from FAP; you do NOT need to have an open ACS case.

How to get help

  • Visit the FAP program website for more information.
  • Email [email protected] .
  • Contact the FAP office via email or by phone. The email box and phones are answered Monday through Friday 9-5, and all messages will be returned.

Offices are currently closed to the public, but all inquiries and assessments can be done via phone and/or video.
