FAMILYConnections is a community-based counseling and family service agency with more than 30 specialized programs for all ages from infants to seniors. We deliver research-based therapeutic services in our offices and on-site in preschools, schools, shelters, and directly in the home. We go the extra mile to improve the quality of life throughout our community by reducing child abuse, drug abuse, gang involvement, and crime; by increasing social and coping skills, school success, and employability; by healing emotional pain and helping individuals and families become strong and independent.
