Strengthening our community through intervention, restoration, and healing relationships.
Our Programs
Through our family programs, residential recovery services, and partnerships with local detention centers, we emphasize teaching vital life skills through individual and group intervention, and evidence-based curriculum promoting healing and restoration. Families Free connects families to community resources for their basic, mental, social, and physical needs. We offer holistic treatment for justice-involved individuals, including outpatient services, trauma groups, yoga, parenting education, family therapy, and psychiatric evaluations.
