Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are community-based organizations committed to promoting family well-being. All services are voluntary, confidential, and free of charge, and there are no income eligibility or enrollment requirements. FRCs are inclusive spaces, welcoming a variety of family structures such as kinship families- relatives or close family friends who care for children when their parents are unable to do so.
Families utilize the services that best fit their needs. Services vary across FRCs based on community needs. Common offerings can include:
- Parenting education – parenting classes and parent-child playgroups
- Family events and activities
- Parent & Kinship support groups
- Connection to NH EASY for benefits and eligibility programs
- Access to concrete supports and referrals
- Home visiting
- Developmental screenings (ASQ-3, ASQ-SE)
- Tax prep and other financial services
