Family Resource Network programs focus on supporting the whole family. This includes providing caregivers and parents with skills and knowledge to strengthen family relationship, teaching children and teens to cope with trauma and improve child and youth development by building resilience and fostering well-being.

Families Forward: In-home (or virtual) coaching for parents of children under 6, providing strategies to build safe, supportive and emotionally healthy home environments.

Infant/Parent Mental Health Support: Play therapy and attachment-based support for low-income families with children aged 0–6, delivered by trained therapists and family development coaches.

• Early Talks: Designed for children under 3, this language-and-literacy development program boosts caregiver skills to nurture early communication and emotional development.

• Mindful Moments: Offered at no cost for kids ages 8–12, this program teaches emotional regulation through crafts, mindfulness exercises, discussions, and outdoor activities. While it’s slightly older than the neonatal range, it’s excellent for early school-age children.
