Children's Bureau, located in Los Angeles, CA, has been dedicated to serving children and families in Southern California for over a century. Their primary focus is on preventing child abuse and neglect by strengthening and promoting the well-being of children, families, and communities. At the heart of their services are the family resource centers (FRCs), acting as vital community hubs for families in need. These centers bring together collaborating agencies, local businesses, and community members to provide comprehensive support services to high-risk families, aiming to decrease isolation and enhance family functioning. Family Resource Centers offer various services tailored to meet the specific needs of families, including parent education, counseling, case management, and referral services. By addressing issues such as child development, effective communication, and mental health, FRCs empower parents to create safe and nurturing environments for their children, ultimately preventing child abuse and neglect.
