The Family Center

What is the Family Center?

Since 1993, The Family Center has been a place where people gather to share information and ideas about parenting. It's a place to find a caring friend, a helping hand or a listening ear. The Family Center believes all families can benefit from parenting information and support.

Parents who participate in Family Center activities will have the opportunity to:

  • connect and share ideas with other parents
  • learn what to expect as their children grow
  • improve communication with their children
  • strengthen family relationships
  • learn positive discipline techniques
  • develop stress management skills

    Family Center programs are provided free-of-charge and On-site child care is available for classes and workshops when noted.
