The Family Center’s mission is to create safer, more resilient families by supporting them in developing the inner strengths, life skills, and networks of resources they need to succeed. The Family Center’s approach is based on the family systems principle that people do not exist in isolation; they live in families (however defined) whose relationships can affect each other in both toxic and healing ways. Through recognizing and harnessing families’ strengths, our programs create changes that benefit all members, both individually and as a family.
