FAMILY Education

Vanguard’s approach to family support is built on the foundation of building community and sharing the struggles of raising children. Raising children is one of the most challenging and important jobs anyone can do. Every stage along the way brings questions and difficult choices. This may result in isolation, shame, guilt and a myriad of other emotions. Knowing you are not alone can create a sense of peace and empowerment in your family.

The Vanguard Family Support Group is a safe nonjudgmental setting to have honest conversation about the challenges of raising a family. The Family Support Group is a place to build community and find hope with those who understand.

The Vanguard Family Support Group will meet once a month from 8:00pm to 9:00pm!
