Family Empowerment programs

Enhancing families' ability to provide for their children's well-being.

About

Do you need help with maintaining your household and caring for your children, but don't know where to start or who to turn to? Family Empowerment programs offer community-based services that can help provide the assistance you need.

Raising a family and maintaining a household can be extremely challenging. Family Empowerment Services (FES) and Family Empowerment Centers (FEC) help assess the challenges you're facing and provide the support and resources to maintain a stable and healthy family.

FES and FEC workers assess your needs and put in place the appropriate services to address them—whether you need help linking to a social or economic service, or could just use some parenting guidance.
