The Eagle Eye
Family Development Services

was founded in 2005. The organization was originally created to provide Intensive Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment/ Programming with housing support for adult men and women through the acquisition of Medicaid funding (2005-2015). We are committed to building strong communities, schools, and families through collaboration with local and state entities, with public and private funding. These services are administered in an atmosphere that encompasses love and empathy, sustaining the dignity and autonomy of individuals who find themselves in need of improving their values by engaging families in mental health and case management services through referrals. We promote wellbeing and self-sufficiency to help alleviate poverty and provide assistance with spiritual healthcare. Currently, the organization provides services including:

  • Individual Support Sessions
  • Group Support Sessions
  • Parenting Classes
  • Life Skills Classes

  • Family Counseling
  • Mental Health First-Aid
  • Continued After-Care Services
