What Makes Us Different: Our Expertise

Both PIC Consulting's Principals were FSS Coordinators and eventually FSS Program Supervisors. Dealing with our workload on a daily basis was frustrating and overwhelming. We attended various training programs and seminars to help us through the many issues that we were facing, and we still came back with more questions than answers. We needed a lot of very specific help and information that was not available anywhere.

Through years of trial and error, experimenting with a variety of policies, procedures, training programs, and workshops, we learned what works and what doesn't work. We came up with nationally recognized best practices that deliver solid results.

There are several people providing training for FSS professionals. What makes PIC Consulting different is that everything that we impart has been applied and proven successful in our own work as FSS Coordinators. We produced an outstanding FSS Program. Staff members were able to deliver solid results, with a manageable workload, and feeling excited and proud about their daily efforts and clients were proudly working their plans, achieving their goals, and becoming truly self-sufficient.
