Our History
Family Counseling Center, Inc. (FCC) opened its doors in June 1974 to provide mental Behavioral Health (BH) out-patient services to residents of Pope county. Although we began by providing services to Pope County, FCC was also given responsibility for additional regions: Pope, Hardin and Johnson counties — primarily due to economics and demographics. In 1976, FCC became incorporated as a Not-for-Profit 501(c)3. In 1989, FCC expanded our program offerings to include Developmental Services (DS) for both residential homes and developmental training. The Supported Living division opened its doors in April 2008, to provide quality senior living care.
Subsequently, FCC has grown to twelve sites: 6 in Johnson County — our largest populated area; 2 sites Hardin County; 3 sites in Pope County; and 1 site in Pulaski County with services extending beyond those 4 counties to include Alexander, Massac, Saline and Union.
FCC provides more than 18 different types of services to over 800 clients, within 3 separate divisions: Behavioral Health (adult/youth crisis
intervention, substance abuse and outpatient, Alzheimer’s screenings,
24-7 residential, psychiatric services, 8-apartments complex, homeless
youth); Developmental Services (crisis, therapy, 24-7 residential,
workshop, school transition and home based); and Supportive Living (46
apartment complex for independent senior living).
Our nine member Board of Directors is elected from 3 primary counties: Hardin, Johnson and Pope.
