What We Do
Spectrum Child and Family Services (SCFS) concentrates on child welfare and provides a wide array of services to children, youth and families living in Genesee, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Wayne and Washtenaw counties. We serve children and teens that are delinquent, have been neglected/abused or abandoned; are medically fragile, multiple handicapped, dually diagnosed and behaviorally and/or emotionally impaired. Our holistic and trauma informed service delivery ensures that mental, physical and emotional needs are met.
The overall goal of Spectrum is to improve the lives of children by strengthening and empowering the family unit to become self-sufficient, stable and competent. Spectrum offers a wide range of programs and services that encompass the needs of an individual from birth to age 21. This broad continuum of care allows Spectrum to custom fit program services to better meet the individual along with the unique needs of the child and family unit. We recognize that in serving children, youth and families, we are assisting a population whose needs are constantly evolving and have tailored our programs to respond to those ever-changing needs.

Creating successes
Jasmine's Success
16-year-old Jasmine had emotional and behavioral problems, some of which stemmed from being sexually abused by a relative as a child. She didn’t cope well and was anti-social. She ran away from home, started using drugs, hung out with peers who broke the law and was truant from school.
Jasmine landed in our Home Based Services program where she initially resisted help. As she became more familiar with the program, however, she opened up to the possibilities and staff members. She turned her life around.
She went back to school and worked hard to achieve a 3.0 GPA, remained drug/alcohol free and focused on larger goals for her life.
The Price Family's Success
The Price children were reunited with their mother after 14 months in foster care, but they still needed help addressing the issues that separated them in the first place. Our Wraparound Program of Child and Family Services helped the Price family find housing, furnishings, counseling and psychological services that have stabilized those issues.
