About Us

Our Mission

Family CT works with families to ensure that they are safe and nurturing places where children can succeed.



Our Vision

We see a future where every family has access to the resources they need and every child is living in a safe environment free from violence, abuse or neglect. Every day, we help families create safe, nurturing homes where children can succeed.

About Family Centered Services

Family Centered Services is proud to be the first agency to address domestic violence alongside child abuse. We recognize that these and other issues often exist within the same households yet require different approaches and solutions.


There is no one size fits all and every family has unique and individualized needs. Acknowledgement of these issues is the first step and we’ll take that journey with you. But we can’t help you if we don’t know you’re there.

CALL US TODAY

...I’ve gained a lot from this program...participating in the groups has helped me with my self-esteem and goals in life! I also like it a lot because there is guidance and motivation from the staff. They can feel the same and I don’t have to feel different or sad or embarrassed or shy to talk about it!

-Natasha’s Testimony

Every day there was an argument and he only had offensive words for me. Then I heard about the Family CT domestic violence program, I called them and they assisted me very quickly. They had the patience, love and time to be there for me. Their support and counseling were of great help to me, especially in a time so difficult.

-Sylvia’s Testimony

  • Empowerment-Based Family Support

    Family CT’s work with families is based on the belief that all people, and all families, have strengths. This is a core principle of an empowerment-based family support model currently being taught by the Connecticut Family Development Institute to help families achieve healthy self-reliance and interdependence with their communities. The model acknowledges the “bone-deep longing within each of us for freedom, self-respect, hope and the chance to make an important contribution to one’s family, community and the world,” (Cornell Empowering Families Project).
