Center for Families and Relationships

Center for Families and Relationships CFAR is a nonprofit counseling center serving the needs of individuals, couples, and families.

CFAR was founded more than 20 years ago with the intent to support and empower struggling families. Today, we continue the work that began with our founder, Maryann Volk and reach a broad and diverse population. The staff at CFAR is passionate about working with families to create safety, resiliency, heal and make lifelong positive changes. If you or your family are "feeling stuck", consider making an intake appointment to meet with a therapist and learn new coping skills to have a positive influence on your life!

What a perfect way to refresh after a sugar-fueled Halloween! Our Community Health Break at on Saturday was an absolute blast. Everyone had a chance to move their bodies with lots of great music, the kiddos competed in a very cool mental health obstacle course, and there were plenty of games and activities to keep folks of all ages engaged. We were able to share some great information and resources with the attendees, and our team came away more inspired than ever to continue this incredible work in the community. Thank you again to the Social Justice Fund and our Community Wellness Sponsors (, , ) for making events like these possible.
