OFS OVERVIEW |
When OFS opened its doors in 1921, families served
as the foundation for our communities and our country. When
problems occurred, friends and neighbors came together to listen,
to support and to strengthen the family.
Since then, times have changed and families are struggling with
problems that require professional support, guidance, and
services. More and more families are dealing with elder care, day
care, parenting issues, family and work stress. Substance
abuse, family violence, child abuse, divorce, death and a host of
other problems contribute to feelings of loneliness and confusion.
Oakland Family Services (OFS) is a private,
non-profit, human services agency which has been serving families
and children in Southeastern Michigan since 1921.
OFS has provided confidential services for over 80 years and we understand the importance of
earning our customers trust. We serve more than 30,000 children,
adolescents, and adults every year. There are five
convenient office
locations in Oakland County with ample parking. Our consumers
in many programs also receive services in their homes, schools,
hospitals, nursing homes, and in the work place. We help children
and adults to set goals, explore alternatives and to resolve even
the most difficult crises. |
