What makes a FaCT Family Resource Center (FRC) unique is that each of our 16 locations offers seven core services for every family that walks in. Each of our core services is free and rooted in the Five Protective Factors that are proven to support and strengthen families, help promote child development, and promote family bonding. In addition, each FRC also offers other supportive services that complement the seven core services and are responsive to the needs of their unique communities.
