Family Resource Center

The Family Resource Center offers many services to foster and adoptive children and their families with one basic goal: keeping families together by making them healthier and stronger.

To achieve this goal, parents need to be empowered to overcome obstacles to their well-being, safety and integrity. The Family Resource Center helps by providing a variety of services and support systems. The Center serves Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard and Orleans Parishes through the state Office of Children's Services. Email us to learn more about applying for services.
