We believe in the sanctity of the family and the value of preserving and strengthening the integrity and unity of those families impacted by special needs and circumstances.  When a family encounters such challenges as disability, divorce, death, or other unanticipated developments, its foundation and union are challenged often beyond the strengths of its members. It is the mission of “Focus on Families” to provide counseling and mediation services, educational opportunities, family-based activities (such as workshops, therapeutic camps, retreats), and to identify, develop and promote other efforts responsive to and supportive of families with special needs.  We believe in the sanctity of the family These special needs families include those with disabled members, those in which the parents face significant marital difficulties, those dealing with loss and grief, those experiencing educational challenges, those struggling with emotional, mental health, or substance abuse issues, and those who find themselves in circumstances which, faced unsupported, would only deplete the solidness of the family’s identity and unity.  Focus on Families will vigorously pursue opportunities to promote and enhance those services being provided families in their educational, work, spiritual and social communities.
