About Academy for Family Empowerment Services
Academy for Family Empowerment (AFE) is in a suburban corner of Conyers, Georgia. Salem Lake is a local landmark. This mental health agency is accredited by CARF. They partner with several local government agencies for mental and behavioral health, alongside several Rockdale County Public Schools.
Preserving the Family Unit
AFE partners with the Department of Family and Children Services in an effort to preserve the family unit for at-risk families and to reunify families that have been separated. The program goal is to ensure children are not at risk for maltreatment, abuse, or neglect while in the home. Parental assessments include parental fitness, domestic violence, substance use, anger management, and a home evaluation.
Family Mental Health Services
AFE is an ally with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Diseases to provide mental health care via Medicaid. The program provides individual and family therapy to address mental issues.
Crisis services are available to families at all times. Counseling in groups is featured for anger and emotion management, substance abuse and life skills.
Individuals and families can receive psychiatric services and medication management as needed. Drug screenings are also done, either with hair follicles or urine testing. They can also refer you for inpatient care if you need detox.
School Based Counseling for Children
AFE partners with Rockdale County Public Schools to provide school-based counseling services. These services are funded by Medicaid and the school system. School staff, such as counselors, and social workers refer students for services.
Therapy is offered to students at their school in a familiar environment with the intention of improving their academic status and also to improve their behavioral, emotional, and social wellbeing.
