how we help
Our Programs
The Family Center offers a range of evidence or research-based (or informed) programs that help break cycles of trauma in families. We recognize that creating resilient communities starts in families and families often need a village to support them. We provide seminars targeting specific needs in shorter time frames, groups that offer more intensive information and skills for families (groups in community partner sites also include the option for children), two-generational coaching in homes, safety zones, or facilities, and training for nonprofits, businesses, and systems like courts or jails to advance knowledge and integrate system changes related to ACEs and Trauma Informed Principles.

Parenting Groups
How we parent our children impacts their health, ability in school, and future success in life. Parenting groups empower moms, dads, or other family caregivers to be the best parents possible!
Family Coaching
Sometimes parents need help understanding their children and practicing positive parenting skills. Family coaching benefits all family members by using goals specific to your family.
organization resilience
We're changing systems by helping professionals and advocates understand the impact childhood trauma and adverse childhood experiences have on children, families, and communities.
All groups and seminars remain virtual (online). We’ll continue to assess safety factors while also working with community partners to get back to in-person sessions as soon as possible.
