Mission
Family and Child Treatment of Southern Nevada (FACT) is dedicated to helping
children, adults and families overcome and heal the traumas of abuse, neglect and violence through education, prevention and treatment services.

History
Family and Child Treatment of Southern Nevada has been providing counseling, education and prevention services to victims of child abuse since 1984. Originally opened in 1984 as Child Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (CSAT), the mission was to provide low cost treatment to children and their families who may otherwise not be able to access services. In 1990 United Way assisted our agency in a merger with another organization that shared our mission. The ideals, values and the program grew to include families and adults who were molested as children. Today, FACT provides comprehensive services with financial assistance from United Way, state and federal grants, and individual and corporate donations.
