Family Empowerment Programs

For provider information please click here.

Children require a lot of time, patience and energy. Parenting can be difficult, and at times, it may feel downright unbearable, especially when you are facing other stressors, such as financial problems, abusive relationships, drug or alcohol dependency or mental illness like depression.

The Children's Trust Fund's Family Empowerment Programs can help you deal with hardships in your life, as well as develop your parenting skills and improve family relationships.

For additional information on the Family Empowerment Programs, or for connections to support in your community, call the Child Development Infoline at
(800) 505-7000.

Tip: Before you leave your child 
with a babysitter, check references 
or speak with other parents who 
have hired him/her.
