Community Based Services

Parenting today is quite challenging. Financial difficulties, divorce, communication difficulties, grief, substance abuse, and many other issues threaten family stability. In the midst of such issues, family enrichment services can provide support to help rebuild the family structure. The Florida Center's Community Based Services provide information on child development, parent-child bonding, behavior modification techniques, and family communication; and encourage parental involvement in the physical, emotional, and social development of children.

Parent Support - The Sarasota Family Support Network’s mission is to empower families through support, advocacy, education and information while working with families to build partnerships with professionals and strengthen their role in the community.
