History

Family and Community Service of Delaware County (FCS) is an incorporated, nonprofit, multi-service counseling agency serving Delaware County. The present Agency resulted from the consolidation and merger of Delaware County’s five family service agencies between 1940 and 1946; the oldest  of the five agencies began operations in 1913. FCS provides services from offices in Media and Clifton Heights, the Ralph Moses House in Chester, and in other community locations including schools in the Interboro and Upper Darby school districts. Counseling is provided by licensed clinical social workers with diverse professional experience. Most insurances are accepted; a sliding fee scale is available.
