Family Support Centers are community-based programs designed to provide families with resources, opportunities and experiences that enable them to become self-sufficient and nurturing parents.   

Strong families make strong communities, where the hope of our children's future begins. 

Family Support Centers focus on: 

• Healthy child development 
• Effective parenting
• Preservation of the family unit
• Economic self-sufficiency 

These goals are accomplished through home-based services, parent support groups, parent/child activities, relationship building and mentoring.
