FamilyWise has been keeping children safe and helping families lead stable, healthy, and productive lives since 1976. As of this summer, we are pursuing that mission in a deeper way; in July 2020, FamilyWise merged with longtime partner Minnesota Communities Caring for Children (MCCC). By uniting with MCCC, a leader in child abuse prevention and parent empowerment, FamilyWise expands its services statewide and creates an even stronger circle of support around the families and communities we serve.
This merger comes at an urgent time. The families we serve have experienced significant trauma and are often locked in multi-generational cycles of poverty and family violence, challenges that have only intensified since COVID-19 began. Through our trauma-informed programs—parent education, teen parenting, supervised visitation, and more—we aim to empower families to meet those challenges. We also work alongside family service providers, providing education and resources to help them be responsive to the needs of vulnerable families. As we work toward our vision of a community where every child thrives, we are focused on these organization-wide goals:
Prevention is critical for creating safe, healthy communities. Watch this video from our national affiliate, Prevent Child Abuse America, to learn more.
