Welcome to FamilySPEAK! This site is a tool for strengthening families by providing family support, parent education and knowledge in one accessible location. Providing resources and supports positively impacts our community as families thrive and children develop their potential.

Our approach to supporting parents is based on the belief that parents are the true experts on their children, and that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to raising children. The information and tools we offer are designed to support parents in developing their own ways to promote their children’s growth and development.

Domestic Violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors, including threats and/or the use of physical violence, used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation. Domestic Violence may include emotional abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as debilitating as physical and sexual abuse, instill fear, and firmly place the perpetrator in a role of intimidation and control in the relationship.
