The National Family Resiliency Center helps children and adults preserve a sense of family, foster healthy relationships, and adjust constructively to change during times of separation, divorce, and other family transitions.
While NFRC has successfully helped thousands of individuals cope with family transitions, it has also made a significant impact on the legal and social issues that arise from this process in hopes of keeping the family transition process out of the courtroom. NFRC has always been ahead of its time in providing comprehensive services to promote a community of healthy families, setting us ahead of all other services. By being both a resource and an active participant in advocating for families, NFRC’s services have impacted the process of family transition in a tangible way. Among these services are:
- Presenting programs to Howard County Bar Association
