About FACTS INITIATIVE

Location:

Mission Statement

To help children and families achieve social and emotional well-being by providing quality, trauma-focused, child and family mental health care in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.

Description

The FACTS Initiative was founded by a pair of mental health clinicians who noticed gaps in the quality of care and access to care within the communities they served. They had an idea to create an agency that would focus on providing quality, trauma-based therapy for children and families in underserved communities and individuals highly impacted by trauma and/or tragedy.

Shortly after this meeting of minds, in 2018, The Family and Child Therapeutic Services (FACTS) Initiative was born.

The FACTS Initiative provides outpatient and community-based therapeutic services for children and families. The Charlotte, N.C.-based nonprofit agency works to change the lives of at-risk children and families through therapy and education. Our clinicians are licensed professionals well trained and flexible to meet the complex needs families we serve.

Children and families are often not receiving the quality of care they need due to barriers with insurance coverage, lack of available providers, or logistical limitations. The FACTS Initiative addresses these issues by offering income-based fees for services, maintaining a qualified team of mental health professionals and a robust referral list, and providing virtual and community-based alternatives to traditional therapy.
