What Drives Us

Our Mission

The Center is shifting the paradigm to break the cycle of generational violence by recognizing that prevention is part of solving the problem for good. Beyond crisis support, we teach healthy living skills.

Our innovative programs, backed by data science, drive transformational change for individuals and families. We address the needs of each family member including the person who acts out, the victim, and the witnesses. We help families to resolve conflict and boost coping skills through proven training. Our facilitators teach more productive mindsets and develop confidence in each individual that results in behavioral change.

The data shows that giving people hope and empowerment helps them do better. We envision a world where every family member is heard and respected. By solving challenges, we aim to keep families together to grow and thrive.

It is time to move beyond a crisis-oriented approach. Let us show you how.
