True to our mission, Family Service Center offers community-based education programs.
We offer a number of educational programs that are geared to the general public, to specific target groups, or to mental health professionals. On request, the programs, which focus on subjects such as bullying or parenting, can be tailored to the needs of your specific group. We also sponsor a support group for parents of young children.

Wesley Parent Support Group
We recognize what a challenging time parents face when their children are very young. In order to help parents in our community face those challenges effectively, we offer focused, supportive discussions that center on issues and solutions. These evenings also serve as a chance to meet and get to know other families who are facing the same challenges.
