TELEHEALTH: Unique Family Service is considered “essential services” and we are exempt from the Stay-at-Home order issued by the state. We are taking steps to modify operations to be able to continue to offer services to our clients and will keep you posted on any changes in the near future.

We are closely monitoring and following the recommendations of public health authorities on the federal, state and local level to assure the safety of us all. Some of the measures we are undertaking are:
