FamilyWise is a nonprofit organization that has been committed to ending cycles of family violence and keeping children safe since 1976. 

Our mission is to strengthen families by promoting the safety, stability and well-being of children since 1976.

Smart parenting starts here.
We know that great parents aren’t born, they’re taught. That’s why parent education and coaching is a part of everything we do. Giving parents of all ages and backgrounds the tools to be effective parents and positive role models improves children’s chances for a better future.

Kids don’t come with instructions.
First Step Early Childhood Education Center is an affordable, amazing childcare center that is nationally accredited and open to any child from 6 weeks through 5 years of age.

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and loving home.
We reunify children with their parents, when it is safe and possible. We do this by providing skills, coaching and a neutral place for families to come together during difficult child custody situations.
