Family-Child Resources, Inc. has a long history of strengthening
and supporting families. We provide high-quality services and
products directly to families and schools, as well as to employers
who wish to support their employees in balancing their work and
personal lives. Over the past 35 years, we have become recognized
nationally, statewide, and locally for our comprehensive, client-focused
services.
We offer what is perhaps the largest Parent Education Program in the state, serving hundreds of parents in courses and workshops each year. We developed one of the earliest Elementary Student Support Programs in the country for children who are coping with child abuse, foster placement, substance abuse, divorce/separation, death or other trauma or changes in their families. We have served as Consultants and Trainers for the Pennsylvania Department of Education in the development and statewide implementation of Instructional Support Teams (IST); many elements of our model have been incorporated into Pennsylvania's IST model.
We received the first grant in the state from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to implement a model Bullying Prevention Program and played a lead role in the state of Pennsylvania's statewide implementation.
Our organization was one of fewer than 10 in the country to develop
a Perinatal Coaching Program to provide support and education to
new parents and prevent many of the problems that lead to child
abuse and neglect.
We also spearheaded a fatherhood initiative in York County to enhance the parenting skills of fathers and increase the involvement of fathers in their children's lives.
We offer workshops, endorsed by the York County Court System, for families dealing with child custody issues. We also provide counseling and assessment for children, adolescents, and adults on a wide variety of issues.
We provide the largest Early Intervention program for families
in York and Adams Counties who have children, ages birth to 3 years,
with special needs.
We have launched a telephone Parenting HelpLine to offer solutions to the parenting questions and concerns of families throughout York County.
Family-Child Resources, Inc. is listed as 1 of 66 exemplary programs throughout the country in Programs to Strengthen Families, published by the Family Resource Coalition, a respected national organization, and as a model program in Making a Difference: Programs That Work!, published by the Washington Health Foundation.
Additionally, we contribute to the community each year through
our active involvement and leadership in various professional organizations
and in partnerships with area businesses. Ongoing program review
produces innovative program enhancements and new product and service
offerings.
