Family Resource Center
Since 1997, the Family Resource Center has been providing families with educational opportunities to equip them with informational tools in an effort to strengthen the family unit and promote healthy child development. Classes are taught by trained instructors and generally run from September to May each year, with the number of series scheduled being determined by enrollment. Referrals are received from the community, The Department of Human Services, churches, the courts, and other agencies, as well as self-referrals. Child care and refreshments are provided free of charge.
