The mission of Families Network of Western CT, Inc. is to ensure that all families receive the support they may need in order to get their children off to a safe and healthy start.
Most parents share a desire to provide the best for their children. However, raising healthy and confident children can be difficult, especially when parents are frustrated, inexperienced, having serious mental health problems or facing stressful conditions such as relationship difficulties or financial crisis.
Parenting is one of the toughest and most important jobs any of us will ever face. We all have a stake in ensuring that parents have access to the tools and support they need to be successful. With the help of Families Network of Western CT, Inc., families are able to find the strength and resources they need to raise safe, healthy, and happy children.
"Most programs in the state are designed to intervene after child abuse has occurred. Our programs are unique in that we work with parents at or before the birth of their child. We are working to keep children safe as we take steps to prevent abuse from occurring in the first place." - Susan Giglio, Executive Director, Families Network of Western CT, Inc.
Child abuse happens in the best of families... No one wants to be one of them... No one has to be... Call us if you or someone that you know could use our help!
