		ABOUT NFRC AND OUR MISSION *A Message from the Executive Director* The National Family Resiliency Center, Inc. has one special goal—fostering healthy relationships in all families regardless of composition. Through individual, couple, family, parent, co-parent, pre-marital, marital, separation and blended family counseling. Regardless of family composition, all families experience challenges that are related to children’s developmental stages and changing needs, and parents’ challenges at work and in personal relationships. We develop a customized approach for each individual and family based on the client’s goals and needs. The National Family Resiliency Center, Inc. (formerly Children of Separation and Divorce Center) guides and supports children during family transitions so that they emerge healthy and hopeful for the future. Since our founding in 1983, we have done this by helping more than 28,000 individuals and families resolve conflict, co-parent, and make child-focused decisions before, during, and after the dissolution of their marriage. What are NFRC’s mission and strategies? The National Family Resiliency Center is committed to helping children and adults preserve a sense of family, foster healthy relationships, and adjust constructively to change, especially during times of separation, divorce and other family transitions. To accomplish this, NFRC’s professional staff has developed a multidisciplinary offering of programs and resources for families and professionals, including: Individual, family, multiple family and group clinical programs Co-Parent Consultation services Collaborative divorce coach services Collaborative child specialist services FamilyConnex on line program Community outreach, preventive and educational programs Volunteer peer counseling programs Research and advocacy programs Professional development and training programs An expansive library of NFRC-authored books and training manuals For families with children, each of these efforts plays an important role in positioning the family as an enduring and positive force in the life of every child; ensuring that decisions made on behalf of children reflect a child’s developmental needs and the impact of family transitions at each age level; providing the guidance and support children need in order to grow and thrive.
