Programs
& Services
 The population that is served by
the agency are individuals and families that reside and/or work in Waukesha
County. Within the limits of our resources, agency programs are available
to all who are in need and can make appropriate use of agency services.
Race, color, creed, economic status, physical disabilities, orientation,
language and residence are not conditions of eligibility.
Agency services and programs receive funding from United Way, client fees,
health insurance, government contracts, service agreements and donations.
Most agency clients participate in agency programs voluntarily, and request
agency services at a time of individual or family stress or crisis. An
increasing number of agency clients are required to participate in agency
programs by order of the court, or as a condition of probation or parole.
Family Service of Waukesha provides individual, family, educational,
supportive, group, and in-home services. Cases are often carried
collaboratively with other therapists and agencies that provide services
for specific needs such as medication, treatment for alcoholism,
developmental disabilities, vocational rehabilitation, probation and
parole, or financial assistance. When there is collaboration with other
agencies, Family Service of Waukesha will usually take responsibility for
case management and coordination of services. In such cases,
confidentiality of client names and case content is strictly maintained.
Duplication of services that are provided by other agencies or individuals
is avoided.
Our positive working relationship with Waukesha Memorial Hospital, United
Way, Waukesha County Department of Health and Human Services, WCTC, Family
Court Counseling Services, The Women's Center, PPAC, the District
Attorney's office, Probation and Parole, the Sheriff's Department, and
numerous community agencies and funding sources helps Family Service of
Waukesha to be an integral part of the strong fabric of effective community
services that are available in Waukesha County.
The following summary of agency services provides additional
detail of the broad range of effective agency programs that are provided by
Family Service of Waukesha.
