Family Services Association for LGBTQ+ Support Services and Groups.
LGBTQ+ Clinical Support Services:
Fall River Family Services Association (FSA) has developed a specialty program to provide therapeutic services to the older adult LGBTQ+ population through our Behavioral Health Center. Services are provided in person or by Zoom.
Offerings include individual therapy, a family and friends weekly support group, a monthly drop-in group for the older LGBTQ+ adult, and training sessions for community agencies to assist them in serving this population.
This program is funded in part by a grant from Bristol Elder Services, Inc. through a contract with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs. All services are provided by clinicians who have an affirmative approach to providing services to members of the older LGBTQ+ community. If interested in receiving services or for additional information please contact Sue Roque at 508-678-7542.
