We help parents and caregivers achieve emotional stability so that they can provide healthy, safe environments for their children.

Family Resource Centers
Our Family Resource Centers offer counseling and case management services to families at-risk of losing their children to foster care placement due to abuse or neglect. Ninety-seven percent of these high-risk families are able to avoid foster care placement of their children. The centers offer counseling for substance abuse and domestic violence, parenting courses, a community advisory board, job readiness training for teens, homework assistance, and women`s peer education. The number of cases referred to the programs due to domestic violence issues continues to rise, and Safe Space has responded with an innovative new program for these mothers
