The evidence-based, family-focused Families and Schools Together (FAST) Program, developed by Families and Schools Together, Inc., is offered in partnership with schools and community spaces serving high-risk, high-need students. Teen FAST works with the whole family to increase self-esteem, improve students’ academic performance, and strengthen family functioning.

It has been named a Promising Program by the Center for Mental Health Services, a Model Program by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), a Model Program by Strengthening America’s Families, and an Exemplary Program by Title V (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention/OJJDP, U.S. Department of Justice).
