Family & Consumer Science

The Family Community and Consumer Services pathway focuses on careers relating to meeting the essential needs of people which range from social and emotional wellness to financial and physical health because they are inter-related.  Occupations which focus on relationships between and among family members including family counseling, marriage therapy, non-profit management and others related to helping others are a focus but also those related to personal and family financial goal setting, credit counseling and resource support. This is not customer service or the banking professions, but those related to helping people manage their finances or to regain credit stability. This pathway is unique in that the entire human condition is included.
