Mission

HOPE CENTER FOR CHILDREN PROVIDES FIVE SERVICES DESIGNED TO CREATE AN ARRAY OF SERVICES WHICH FULFILL OUR MISSION OF BUILDING STABLE, HEALTHY FAMILIES AND PROVIDING CHILDREN A SAFE PLACE FROM ABUSE OR NEGLECT. LAST YEAR WE SERVED 963 CHILDREN AND 1,820 INDIVIDUALS (CHILDREN PLUS PARENTS). HOPE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S REACH IS FAR GREATER THAN THE CENSUS COUNTS INCLUDED IN THESE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS. THE NUMBERS LISTED GROW EXPONENTIALLY WHEN THE INFORMAL PARENTING TIPS, BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION STRATEGIES, AND GUIDANCE TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IS GIVEN OUTSIDE OF A STRUCTURED SETTING. PRACTITIONERS ARE APPROACHED ON A REGULAR BASIS BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR INFORMAL CONSULTATION, AND THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT CAPTURED IN HOPE CENTER'S CENSUS STATISTICS. IN ADDITION, ALL SERVICES HAVE A MULTI-GENERATIONAL APPROACH GEARED TOWARDS ASSISTING FAMILIES DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO BUILD STABLE, HEALTHY FAMILIES.
