It’s the holiday season, and while the excitement of parties, decorations, family visits, gift-giving, and cherished traditions can uplift our spirits, they can also create a whirlwind of expectations and busyness that may feel overwhelming. In this season of connection and gratitude, we are reminded of the importance of fostering emotional wellbeing.

As we navigate this busy time, FSC has some tips from our blog to support you through the gatherings, celebrations, and reflections. More details here: https://conta.cc/4j39bwD

All of us at Family Service Center wish you an emotionally healthy holiday season. If you need support, our team of experts are here to help.

A Place to Belong, a Chance to Fly.

At Family Service Center (FSC), every story begins with a simple truth: when someone feels they truly belong, they begin to find their wings.

With the guidance of our experienced and compassionate staff, clients are building confidence, healing relationships, and transforming lives.

55% of the critical work to support mental health at FSC is funded by grants & community donations.

Your gift today ensures that educators, parents, children, and neighbors all have access to mental health care that lifts them up and, in turn, lifts us all. We invite you to make FSC part of your Giving Tuesday here: https://bit.ly/3FzPUAk

What an extraordinary gathering! Thank you to all who attended and supported our annual Chrysalis Luncheon on November 6th. It was more than a celebration — it was a reminder of what transformation looks like when a community comes together with purpose, compassion, hope, and a touch of magic ✨

We again congratulate The Coleman Foundation as our 2026 Heart of the Family Award Honoree in recognition of their community leadership and support for FSC’s mission. Thank you for being part of this movement of change, belonging, and hope.

Transformation happens when we lift one another up. Together we fly!
