STRONG FAMILIES SUPPORT HEALTHY CHILD DEVELOPMENT

For more than four decades, the Family Support Center of Barry County has worked alongside families, children, professionals, and community partners to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.

What began as a community effort has grown into a nonprofit providing parent education, community education, advocacy, and practical resources to children, families, and professionals.

While our name and programs have evolved over the years, our commitment remains strong: strengthening families through awareness, advocacy, and education to promote wellness and prevent all forms of child abuse and neglect.

Today, we continue that work by meeting people where they are at and helping families build the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to thrive.
