Families in Need of Resources, Support, and Education

At CEDARS, we focus on services that are designed to help the entire family so those healthy connections grow, and families can stay together. We even offer early childhood opportunities that are supportive and inclusive, so kids can go on to be successful.

Family Resources

CEDARS Family Resources are a continuum of home visitation models that focus on maintaining healthy family connections. By providing free home visits for families who want to learn more about early childhood development, parenting, and community resources, we strive to prevent future system involvement for the youth and families in our community. We offer a variety of family-based services to meet various needs, including Healthy Families Home Visiting, Sixpence, Partners in Permanency, Community Response, Family Support, and Circle of Security Parenting. Family Resources are provided to parents prenatally through age 18, with priority given to families who are not system involved.
