Something for the entire family
Within the past few months, I've have the fortunate opportunity to become more familiar with some of the non-profit organizations in town, and I have to say that I'm constantly blown away by all of the great things that are going on here.
A few weeks ago, I made a visit to Family Centers, which is located at 590 Post Road, in the building we typically associate with the Center for HOPE. It's a wonderfully warm space filled with materials that encourage hope, empowerment, and brighter futures - incredibly impressive in and of itself, I thought. Little did I know that Family Centers is not just a brilliant place to be, but also offers over thirty programs and services that are available to make all of our lives a little easier each day. WOW!
Just some of the programs for children and their families include Head Start, Homework Club, The Den for Grieving Kids, parenting workshops, and mental health and crisis counseling. Family Centers also offers senior health insurance counseling, friendly visitors and support groups, employment assistance, and housing resources, among others.
Perhaps there is a program available that could benefit you or someone you know. We could all use a little bit of help from time to time, right? Luckily, on Tuesday, March 25th, from 4 to 5 p.m., Gil Consolini, director of behavioral health at Family Centers, will be visiting Darien Library's Children's Room to discuss the programs and services available to Darien residents.
Why not stop by and find out about some of the great things going on in Darien? I hope to see you there!
