For more than 30 years, NFRC has committed to
helping children and adults preserve a sense of family, foster healthy
relationships, and adjust constructively to change, especially during times of
separation, divorce and other family transitions. The proceeds from the event
will support NFRC’s sliding fee programs, advocacy and outreach training
programs. NFRC has provided more than $90,000 in free counseling services to
families in the community in recent years thanks to community supporters.
NFRC would like to welcome those interested in

“NFRC has made vital strides in not only
helping families in transition, but in helping to create the model for
co-parenting through separation and divorce across the country. This event,
which will help so many receive much needed counseling services, could not be
successful without the myriad of volunteers, staff and sponsors that contribute
their time and resources,” said Risa Garon, Executive Director and co-founder
of the National Family Resiliency Center.
