Family Support Programs
Family Support Programs work with parents to develop their capacities as advocates and champions for their children. Children’s prospects for future success are dependent upon their parents’ economic stability, social connections to community peers, and knowledge of child development. Programs and activities help parents develop financial stability, increase resilience and competence, gain access to community supports and resources, and actively guide their children’s growth and development. Activities include job readiness, job training, job acquisition, financial education, income supports, social network building, and community planning. Family Support Programs are facilitated by Friends of the Family.
