Change Process: (self-reported)

We promote family unity through positive reinforcement and parental education. All activities and services are free. Our philosophy is to assist families with dignity. The collaborative efforts of our professional counselors and our on-site services help diminish the stigma of seeking mental health support. Parents return to the program, demonstrating the trust built between staff, volunteers, community partners, and parents. Our newest strategy is parental “teach back” sessions. All of efforts result in family stability, a nurturing environment, and violence-free homes for children.
