DHS Grant for Family-Centered Treatment. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is seeking applications to award approximately two contracts to support the implementation of Family Centered Treatment (FCT). FCT is an evidenced-based model that is designed for families with children who are at-risk of out-of-home placement by aiming to help families identify core emotional issues, identify functions of behaviors in a family system context, change emotional and behavioral maladaptive patterns, and strengthen attachment bonds. The purpose of the funding is to:

  • Support Tribal nations, counties, and/or community-based agencies to receive training and complete the entire Certification Program in FCT.  
  • Develop policies within the grantee’s existing behavioral health system that will allow for appropriate referrals, timely screening, and admittance of families to be served under the FCT model.  
  • Provide an evidence-based in-home therapy model to families to decrease symptoms of crisis and acute needs, increase family functioning, increase treatment engagement, and decrease the need for out-of-home placements and hospitalizations.  
  • Report specific metrics to help determine effectiveness of the program.
  • Develop a sustainability plan to ensure FCT is used ongoing, post grant funding.  

The total amount of funds available is $250,000. It is the intent of the Department to make awards to approximately two applicants for the services required in this GFO. Therefore, the Department anticipates awarding approximately $125,000 total over the course of 2 years to each successful applicant. The start date is July 1, 2025. Deadline for application May 15.
