Christ's Haven's Family Resource Center (FRC) was recently certified by the National Family Support Network in their Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support. This is a significant step in the process of growing our FRC and ensuring that we are caring for families with excellence.
Our VP of Programs, Maddie Churchman, and Case Manager & FRC Coordinator, Rhonda Thomas-Peters, were trained and certified in the following 5 areas of practice:
Family Centeredness
Working with a family-centered approach that values families and recognizes them as integral to the Program.
Family Strengthening
Utilizing a family strengthening approach to support families to be strong, healthy, and safe, thereby promoting their success and optimal development.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Valuing, respecting, and embracing families’ diversity, and advancing equity and inclusion.
Community Strengthening
Developing a strong and healthy community by working collaboratively with various stakeholders and supporting families’ civic engagement, leadership development, and ability to effect systems change.
Evaluation
Looking at areas of program strength, as well as areas for further development, in order to guide continuous quality improvement and achieve positive results for families.
Our FRC continues to serve a growing number of families as we stand in the gap for families in need. Visit christshaven.org/frc if you would like more information on receiving support. We help families in need with weekly food boxes, free counseling, case management, crisis services, and parent/caregiver education.
