How FIT Works

  • Therapist-led groups meet once or twice weekly in the early evenings on zoom.
  • Some groups are youth-only or parents-only, others bring everyone together.
  • Individuals and families meet with FIT therapist as scheduled.
  • The more skills you learn, the more you help others who join after you.
  • Program graduates can stay in touch – and even come back if they need to.
  • Once a quarter, everyone gets together in person to celebrate.

How to Join

  • Ask your doctor to refer you.
  • Meet a FIT therapist to discuss what you and your family need.
  • Try out a group to see if it will work for you and your family.

Real Reviews

I’ve been struggling … with feeling bad and not taking my meds. Bad things happened and changed how I was with my family and friends… I never thought I would feel this good, and now I think I can be successful. Now my brother and sister are there, and I feel good that my brother will get help because he gets angry. Even my mother is different now.

FIT has completely changed my daughter’s outlook on life. She expresses herself so well now! …I feel better knowing my child has a safe outlet with peers where they can discuss what goes on… The growth my child has shown in the past year is unbelievable and it is directly related to the program and working with Caitlin.
