What is the purpose of the Family Support Program?
The goal of this program is to support safe and stable families and promote permanency for children.This program serves families with children ages birth to 12 years by providing early intervention andsupport - before families have settled into habitual practices, and before children are put too far off properdevelopmental pathways.
