HOME WHAT WE DO COMMUNITY WELLNESS PROGRAM

Community Wellness Program

In an effort to proactively strengthen families in Essex County, Family Service League has developed a series of workshops through our Community Wellness Program. The mission of the Program is to provide children and families with guidance and support through difficult personal and family issues in a group setting, allowing participants to learn from and support each other. The focus of the program is on parenting and family issues. Available workshops include single parenting, separation and divorce, domestic violence, teenagers with asocial behavior, caring for aging and ill parents, parenting special needs children, bi-racial parenting, children of gay/lesbian parents, and other topics.
