Family Support
Equally important to educating young children is the family’s ability to thrive. HHRC supports families as essential partners in their child’s learning journey. Through Family Engagement and Partnerships, we ensure the family’s well-being, economic mobility, and foster stable family relationships. Through an individualized plan, our Family and Community Engagement Specialists (FACES) empower parents and caregivers to actively participate in their child’s development, growth, and learning. Family members have access to workshops, resources, and services that enable the family unit to strengthen.
