Mission Statement
Our mission is to support family development and to prevent child abuse and domestic violence, and to advocate for culturally competent services through education, community building, and leadership development. We strengthen families with a comprehensive set of services to prevent and treat problems that may occur as a result of stress, barriers and challenges of language, finances, and lack of resources.
