Ensuring survivors of violence have access to comprehensive, free, and confidential services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year remains a cornerstone of our work. Through programs like Coordinated Assessment Program (CAP), we can provide support to Scott County students and their families to be successful in the classroom and at home. . None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the collaboration of our many supporters. We are deeply grateful to our partners, board members, donors, and the community at large. Your trust and contributions have allowed us to continue this vital work. As we look to the future, we remain committed to being here for those who need us most, ensuring that everyone has access to the care, services, and support they deserve.

“Strong and functional families, in which people can be safe, authentic and grow, are the foundational blocks for any community to thrive. The mission and vision of Family Resources to empower, strengthen, protect and bring healing to families and to the communities, are very much aligned with the heart I have for a thriving, safe and healthy community.”
