The Family Resource Center (FRC) works to develop healthy children and build strong families through individual, family and group counseling, peer groups, play therapy, classroom management support and crisis intervention.

Individual, Family and Group Counseling
FRC Coordinators and interns provide services to children and families coping with violence, loss, and high levels of stress--situations that must be addressed in order to foster personal development and academic achievement.

Referrals and Evaluations
FRC staff, in partnership with schools, makes referrals in order to ensure that children’s educational and psychological needs are being met by the public school system. FRC counselors also provide counseling and make referrals to help young people and families treat and cope with a variety of mental health issues.

Partnering with Schools
FRC counselors partner with local schools to reduce the burden on their already overwhelmed counseling personnel. “Fresh Start,” our alternative to detention program, offers school-based counseling and crisis intervention during the school day.

Play Therapy
FRC personnel encourage the unique development and emotional growth of children through the process of play--children’s natural medium of communication. Children are provided with play materials which facilitate their expression of feelings, thoughts and experiences.

Teen Pregnancy, HIV/STD Education and Prevention
FRC staff counsel young people and equip them with information and confidence to make proud, healthy decisions.
