The Embracing Families program is a year long supportive process for families working towards specific goals for themselves and their families. Families meet once a week with their service coordinator to work towards the goals they have established. In addition to the weekly meetings, families attend a series of workshops offered throughout the year to reinforce the goals they have selected for their families.

Carolina recently graduated from Embracing Families and has decided to work with the program coordinator in mentoring a new family. She wants to volunteer her time to assist a new family set and reach goals. She has strengthened her existing skills and gained many more through this program. It is so rewarding to see her excitement to share her knowledge and experience with others!
