Experienced counselors trained in effective therapeutic interventions provide a safe, caring, and compassionate environment. Our counselors guide and support children, adults, and families through the healing process from childhood adversities, linking victims to additional community resources and assisting with victim compensation applications, when appropriate.

First Steps is a parenting support and education program provided to all families of newborns at the Habersham Medical Center. Parents are visited right in the hospital shortly after delivery and given a “Parent Packet” of helpful information and resources. Because a new baby requires lifestyle adjustments, First Steps is a safety net for everyone. 

In-Home Visitation services are provided to families across our five-county region. Referrals are often made by local agencies for families in need of additional parent education or those with concerns about child wellbeing in the home. Through our In-Home Visitation program, our highly trained staff offer individualized parenting plans using evidence-based curriculum, hands-on assistance with obtaining local resources, and overall parenting strategies for healthy children.

New and informative life skills classes designed to support thriving families are introduced throughout the year. Contact us for more information on the 2024 class schedule. 

Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills and positive child-rearing practices. The nurturing philosophy of non-violent parenting focuses on the development of empathy, self-worth, self-awareness, empowerment, discipline with dignity, appropriate roles and age-appropriate expectations of children’s development.

The Positive Parenting Program® (Triple P) is a parenting and family support system designed to prevent, as well as treat, behavioral and emotional problems in children and teenagers. It is a twelve-week program that aims to prevent problems in the family, school, and community before they arise and to create family environments that encourage children to realize their potential.

Family visitation provides children and their visiting parent(s) an opportunity to spend time together under the supported observation of a trained professional where their emotional and physical safety are monitored, and as necessary, intervention and redirection are provided.

Support and educational groups meet at the Family Resource Center ANNEX in order to meet the needs of families in our community.
