Many families need assistance at some point. Recognizing that strong families build strong communities, our Family Enrichment Program for individuals and families uses an outreach approach aimed at strengthening and promoting healthy family environments.

Our dedicated and caring team works one-on-one with families, empowering them to achieve self-determined goals through:

  • One on one support to access critical resources and tools to improve family wellbeing
  • Parent education, consultation, and support to strengthen parent/child relationships
  • Reducing isolation and increasing knowledge for community access and support
  • Advocacy and emotional support

NEW – Family Enrichment Program Parenting Resources

Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ®) provide reliable, accurate developmental and social-emotional screening for children between birth and age 6. Drawing on parents’ expert knowledge, ASQ has been specifically designed to pinpoint developmental progress and catch delays in young children—paving the way for meaningful next steps in learning, intervention, or monitoring.

The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. Learning objectives of the Program:

  • Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs
  • Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
  • Enhance the development of your child's self-esteem
  • Honor your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure
