FAMILY SERVICES - When it comes to family services, we are your local resource to impoving family and individual abilities  to better cope with day to day pressures of work, relationships, and economic burdens. Let us help you take control of your life!

CO-PARENTING COUNSELING - Divorce itself is tough on children, but constant, often bitter conflict that persists after the divorce makes it even tougher. Our co-parenting counseling program offers ways to shield children from parental conflict, disengage from the former relationship, manage anger, develop effective communications skills, negotiate in a business-like manner, establish a positive, long-term relationship with each other, and increase respect.

FAMILY REUNIFICATION/RECONCILATION  - Sometimes there are reasons that a parent and child do not know each other or are estranged from each other. We can help bring them back together through our family reunification services. Whether voluntary or court ordered, we're here to put relationships together.

ANGER MANAGEMENT - This class assists individuals, whether self-referred or court-ordered, to deal with their inability to manage anger. Our goal is to provide adults and teenagers with new "tools" that they can use to better manage their anger and develop the critical skills they need to maintain a non-destructive lifestyle.

MARRIAGE RELATION EDUCATION - These classes are aimed at couples who are looking for ways to improve their communications skills with each other. We discuss "relationship roots", ways to enjoy and relax with our partners, coping with stress, family finances, "fair fighting", problem solving, conflict resolution and intimacy issues. Many couples look at these classes as a first step in rebuilding or repairing a struggling relationship. We also offer divorce mediation when necessary.
