The Lamoille Family Center affirms the right of all children to grow up in an environment that enables them to become healthy adults by educating, encouraging and celebrating families. As a family resource center, we focus on creating an atmosphere in which all families are welcomed, nurtured, and supported. We recognize that raising children is an important and challenging job for all parents, and that the outcomes of that endeavor have a profound impact on our communities and society. We are firmly committed to developing a system of care for children and families that weaves together best practices of professionals, the wisdom and experience of families, and the strengths and hopes of the community. Family Center staff work in collaboration with countless organizations, groups, and individuals to carry out our mission including area schools, mental health agencies, United Way, state agencies, area businesses, other non-profit organizations, and community volunteers. * The term family refers to a structure (formal or informal) that is defined by each individual served and may include (but is not limited to) single parent families, kinship care, blended families, adoptive and foster parent families, step families and intentional communities. |
