About This Cause
Family Service Association of the Wabash Valley Inc., now doing business as FSA Counseling Center, has served the Wabash Valley since at least 1862, and was incorporated in 1948. Previous names include the Ladies Aide Society, Society for Organized Charity, and from the 1920's to 1940's, we were known as the Family Welfare Society. Originally, FSA was dedicated to helping widows and orphans of the Civil War following a donation of $500 from Chauncey Rose. During the 1920's Family Service Organization ran the Friendly Inn, which provided housing and meals to transient individuals, and financial assistance to those in need. Additional services at that time included the Fresh Air Mission, which was later known as the Fresh Air Camp, to provide an opportunity for outdoor experiences to underprivileged children. Through the years FSA has been able to recognize the community needs, and over time we have transformed ourselves into the quality, affordable counseling agency we are today. Currently, FSA Counseling Center is a full range counseling center providing individual, family and group therapy for mental health concerns, prevention services, critical incident stress debriefing, parenting classes and anger management training, supervised visits, training and community outreach and education, in addition to co-parenting classes for divorcing parents with minor children. FSA also provides the Batterer’s Intervention Program for male and female perpetrators of domestic violence. Additional services include intervention and advocacy for victims of sexual assault and other crimes, with outreach efforts, training and education provided to law enforcement and the community. Counseling and prevention services are provided in the office, schools, juvenile detention center, the jail, at St. Mary of the Woods, for the Sisters of Providence and in the CODA shelter. In 2017, FSA served 1,300 Individuals from Vigo, Parke, Vermillion, Sullivan and Clay counties in Indiana and Clark and Crawford counties in Illinois. FSA offers a sliding fee scale to individuals who may not be able to afford services. We also work with many who are uninsured or under insured helping them with costs as well.
