Adoption Related Services Of Pinellas

The mission of Adoption Related Services of Pinellas (ARSP) is to keep adoptive families together and enhance attachment in the parent-child relationship through counseling and other supportive services. Since its inception in 2006, ARSP has focused on meeting the need for qualified professionals to work with adoptive families. ARSP was awarded a Medicaid contract for counseling in 2007 and since that time, the agency has grown tremendously. Although the agency was founded with the vision of serving families in the immediate area of Pinellas County, it was not long before we received requests for services in surrounding counties. Currently, the agency provides services not only throughout Pinellas County, but also extending into Pasco, Hillsborough, Manatee/Sarasota, Hernando and Polk Counties. Our counseling program provides services in the family's home and we bill Medicaid for the vast majority of our services. Our goal is to provide high quality services that are trauma-informed and family-focused.
