We believe that if you build family you build community.
This belief is evidenced by research that shows that relationships and social capital are essential to thriving families and communities.
From our position of positive relationships, our mission is to:
-
Equip families for competent citizenship
-
Build social capital
-
Strengthen the capacity of others
We address issues and parenting challenges by illuminating our understanding of the personal thought processes and past experiences that lead us to perceive and respond to situations in particular ways.
