Counseling Programs
KAFSC has been providing free and low-cost counseling services in English and Korean for over 25 years. Our bilingual counselors specialize in domestic violence, marital problems, parenting issues, child abuse, alcoholism, chemical dependency, cultural adjustment issues, and anger management.
Individual, Couples, and Family Counseling
KAFSC offers
private, confidential clinical counseling sessions for individuals, couples and
families with one of its bilingual counselors. We have a diverse group of
counselors who are 1st, 1.5, and 2nd generation, that includes both male and
female.
All our counselors are bilingual in Korean and English.
Private counseling sessions are completely confidential.
Domestic Violence Batterer’s Program
KAFSC has permission
from the Los Angeles County Probation Department to provide a mandatory 52-week
domestic violence batterer’s treatment program in Korean. Through these classes,
batterers learn to deal with their anger and other emotions in a constructive
manner, receive genuine support from peers dealing with the same problem,
and obtain more accurate senses of their character, behavior, and safety.
24-Hour Toll-Free Domestic Violence
Hotline: (888) 979-3800
KAFSC offers counseling and
supportive services for victims/survivors of family violence as well as a
24-hour, toll-free hotline for domestic violence victims in crisis. Counselors
can provide counseling, safety information, and referral services to assist
victims and their families in a crisis situation.
Healthy Youth Program
KAFSC also offers
free counseling services at schools, churches, community centers, and at our
offices for Korean-American middle school students (grades: 6th, 7th, and
8th) as well as their families. In addition, this program provides a cultural
adjustment curriculum for new immigrant students who are struggling in their new
environment.
Parenting Education
KAFSC offers parenting education
classes for self-referred clients and those who are mandated by the Department
of Child and Family Services (DCFS) or the Los Angeles County Probation
Department. Through these courses, parents learn valuable parenting techniques.
KAFSC has worked with Fairfax High School PTA parents in the past to guide
parents on proper disciplinary methods and effective communication skills with
their high school teens.
Teen and Adult Anger Management
KAFSC offers anger
management classes in Korean and English for adults and teens. These classes are
open to both self-referred and court-ordered clients. Anger Management classes
teach clients how to deal with their emotions in a healthy manner combined with
the use of productive communication, self-reflection, and stress management.
Alcoholics Anonymous
KAFSC has AA
(Alcoholics Anonymous) classes for those struggling with alcohol dependency. AA
is a fellowship consisting of men and women who share their experiences and keep
each other accountable to achieve lasting sobriety.
