The Janet S. Munt Family Room
The Family Room program’s mission is to foster characteristics that are associated with strong families and child abuse prevention: parent-child nurturance and attachment, knowledge of parenting and child development, parental resilience and ability to handle stress, social connections and parent support to access community resources. Families are invited to enjoy free, healthy, home-cooked meals and snacks during each of the programs they offer.
