The goal of the Family Help Center is to stop the intergenerational cycle of violence by offering services to families when parenting gets tough. Providing weekly support groups for parents has proven to be a very successful way to strengthen families. In order to encourage parents to seize this opportunity, we take care of their children while their parents are meeting in another room. We are looking for 1-2 volunteers to work with these children on Tuesday mornings from 10 AM - noon. A background check will be required.
Please help us make a difference for these families!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Family Help Center is to provide free support to families and safety to children when parenting gets tough, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Description
For over 40 years, the Family Help Center has provided services to families with children of all ages - the support they can't always get from families, neighbors, or even parents. Agency services include: 24-hour Parent Help Line and in-home crisis intervention, phone follow-up services, parent instructional groups with companion child care groups, child enrichment programs, intensive home based preventive services, mandated preventive services, child care and emergency respite care, advocacy and linkage, and community education. No fees are charged for these services. The Agency also has a full service day care center, the Family Help Center Daycare Center, licensed for 124 children.
Through our services, we work to stop the intergenerational cycle of violence, as statistics show that approximately 95% of parents who abuse/neglect their children were maltreated as children. As a nonprofit agency, we are dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect in all its forms - physical, emotional, and sexual. We offer immediate assistance - with no application procedures, no eligibility requirements, and no waiting period. Perceived by families as being safe and non-threatening, the Agency is highly effective in engaging families resistant to traditional services.
