Family Support Programs
Both genetics and experiences play a role in a child's brain development. "Serve and return" relationships, where adults promote positive interaction, aid social and emotional development and critical thinking skills.[1]
That is why we believe in providing support not only for children, but for their families as well. Family support programs:
- Provide expectant parents and families necessary resources and skills to raise children who are physically, socially, and emotionally healthy and ready to learn.
- Promote safe, stable and nurturing environments allowing children and families to reach their full potential.
- Help families achieve their goals, reduce stress and provide referrals to other services such as child care assistance or social-emotional supports.
