CHILDRENS HOME SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON

Family support and education: we all need help raising children. This is especially true for families isolated by work demands, language or cultural barriers, poverty, or lack of a support network. To give children the best possible start in life, we offer many services to help the whole family succeed. Our family support programs give families new skills and education to help them raise healthy children who are successful in school and life. Eleven parent information and resource centers provided parenting support and education, family activities, and connections to critical community resources and to the broader parenting communities.

We inform local and national policy makers of specific issues and the urgent need to improve the welfare of our states most vulnerable citizens. Our advocacy efforts have resulted in newfunding and policies that support the healthy development of children and their families. As champions for children, we are working to ensure that every child thrives and every family succeeds in washington.
