About Us
Family Resource Connection (FRC) is a non-profit organization that answers the complex needs of children suffering from maltreatment and being separated from their families due to chemical dependency, abuse, neglect and divorce.
We believe that every child has the right to spend quality time with their parents without being placed in the middle of conflict. We work with the Courts and act as a neutral third party to ease the anxiety that children go through when separated from their parents. Our centers provide a safe haven for children and eliminate the need for extended family members or friends to feel as if they have to choose a side.
Open since 2008, the dedicated staff at FRC strives to keep children safe by preserving the family through a variety of services, such as visitation and parent mentoring classes. Through our services and programs, we seek to minimize child displacement by providing reunification and preservation services that strengthen and support family relationships in a caring, non-judgmental setting.
Our programs help:
- Create connections between family members that provide children with the love and support they need to grow up and become productive, healthy, and happy adults
- Educate children and parents on how to communicate in non-violent ways
- Preserve family relationships when possible, regardless of living arrangements
