Families represent the foundation of, and most fundamental unit within a society. When families are healthy and strong, communities thrive. A Family Resource Center1 (FRC) is a community or school-based welcoming hub of support, services, social connections, and opportunities for families that enhances their ability to be strong, healthy, and successful. FRCs work with an approach that is multi-generational, strengths-based, and family-centered. The services and programs they provide reflect and are responsive to community needs and interests, are designed for all families, and are provided at no or low cost for participants. FRCs intentionally help connect parents/caregivers to each other, developing their peer support network and sense of community.
