What We Do...
- Families are referred to NACS by individuals, local
Department of Child Services,
community organizations, schools, police, and through self-referral.
- Once referred, families voluntarily take part in the program. NACS Neighborhood
Liaison and the family work together to create family goals and action plans.
- The Neighborhood Liaison will link families with programs, services, people and activities which will help strengthen families and lower family stress.
- NACS provides free home based counseling and case management services for families.
- Our services range from parent support and education, fun parent night out events
to connection with crisis emergency assistance. Services are tailored to meet each
individual family need.
- NACS involves the community in helping families cope with challenges which may lead to family dysfunction.
