Have you ever heard “it takes a village” to raise a child? In our line of work, we firmly believe this mantra! Raising happy, healthy children relies on a well-functioning ecosystem of family-friendly policies and programs, thriving communities, and nurturing family and friends to support and interact with them.  When children grow up with the support they need, they have a greater capacity to learn, to get along with others, and to respond appropriately to daily stresses and challenges. 

 This belief guides our work and informs our services. It’s why we offer multiple layers of support for families, engage with community partners, and advocate for our most vital resource: our children.
