Family stabilization and support

Family Support and Connections (FSC) services are intended to increase parental protective factors, which decrease the risk of safety threats associated with child abuse and child maltreatment, therefore reducing the incidents of child welfare involvement.

We serve parents who are struggling with barriers and life issues which threaten the family’s safety and stability.
