Mission
Family and Child Treatment of Southern Nevada _FACT is dedicated to
help
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 and the
ideals, values and the program grew to include families and adults who were
molested as children. Today, FACT is an United Way agency dedicated to helping
children, adults and families overcome and heal from the trauma of abuse, neglect
and violence through prevention, education and treatment.
