Metropolitan Family Services

The mission of Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) is to provide and mobilize the services needed to strengthen families and communities. MFS has a local board that represents the Evanston/Skokie Valley community and operates two programs. Family Support and Prevention is an intensive home and community-based program that works with families who are at risk of entry into the child welfare system due to abuse or neglect of their children. Clients with the program receive individual and family counseling, advocacy and case management services to learn more effective parenting skills and to access needed resources. The goal of the General Counseling Program is to support and strengthen families and individuals through counseling services that are offered in the agency’s community-based centers, clients' homes and school settings. MFS counseling services are available to low and moderate income clients. Each client‘s fee is determined by the agency’s sliding fee scale and goes through financial registration at the time of intake.
