Family Support Programs
While many of our programs at
Catholic Charities differ in services or
clientele, they all share one common
goal: to strengthen and preserve the
family. Whether the family has one
parent, one income, or is a grandmother
raising her grandson, our mission is to
provide the support needed so that the
family unit is strong and long-lasting.
Some are strained by difficult situations
and seek supportive services or
advocacy; others need to develop better
parenting skills. Some just need brief
assistance to become more self sufficient.
We place a strong emphasis on
promoting positive parenting skills,
teaching child development, and
encouraging nurturing interactions
between children and parents. We also
offer group-based activities to reduce
isolation, promote peer-to-peer support,
and encourage the development of
informal support networks.
