To prevent child maltreatment, break generational patterns of abuse and neglect, reduce the impact of childhood trauma, and support the development of stable, strong families who are able to keep their children safe and thriving at home.
We achieve this by focusing on the needs of the whole family, and offering the necessary services to keep children safe and families together.
We build 5 Protective Factors in families:
This is the foundation of healthy attachment. Parents who feel supported and equipped are more likely to build stable, nurturing relationships that protect children from the long-term effects of stress and adversity.
Caregivers feel significant emotional relief and decreased isolation after reaching out to FNC for support.

“I have had the privilege of working with amazing professional caregivers over many years. It has been an honor to share concerns and contribute time and effort to very young children at risk.
My level of concern and care has been a commitment to these children as future citizens of this community.
My belief in their viability and capacity to become positive members of this community rests with our investment in them individually and collectively. Each child’s wellbeing deserves respect top to bottom.”
