Community Partners

 

Unfortunately, many families are just one step away from having a household in crisis.

When the car breaks down, the baby won’t stop crying or mom can’t wrap her head around the implications of her child’s new medical diagnosis, a parent’s stress level rises. Studies show this can lead to child abuse and neglect.

Community Partners answers this need by providing short-term case management services to families in crisis, connecting them to resources in our community. They assist in resolving the situation so the family can maintain stability and security.
