The children and families that choose to partner with Family Building Blocks are facing real challenges every day. They may be experiencing homelessness, they may be isolated, living in poverty, struggling with addiction, experiencing domestic violence, without employment, or lacking transportation. We know the more stressors faced by a family, the harder it is for that family to stay strong and together.
In direct response, Family Building Blocks provides vital services through our family-centered programs: Therapeutic Classrooms for children, Home Visits for families, education for parents, as well as wrap around supports like mental health services, respite care, clothing closets, and food pantries.
Supporting Family Building Blocks directly impacts positive outcomes for children and their families – increased graduation rates, improved life-long health outcomes, lower incarceration rates, and reduced teen parenthood. For every $1 invested into high-quality early childhood programs like Relief Nurseries, there is a remarkable $8 return on investment. That’s why we like to say, “If you have a dollar to spend, spend on prevention.”
What we do works. Year after year, 99% of the children we serve are able to continue living safely with their parents and families – no foster care, no abuse, and no neglect. It doesn’t get much better than that!
