Encouraging Kids Family Resource Center

Encouraging Kids Family Resource Center is a private, nonprofit 501c3 organization that began as a way for us to do what we love. We offer peaceful, positive parent education programs & support, parent-child groups, special education advocacy, professional development, supervised visitation services & more in a safe, warm, supportive setting.

There is no single job as important and demanding as parenting. Our failure to give parents specific training for their very difficult job seems based on the belief that if you are a human being you should know how to raise one. We believe parents DO have the ability and motivation to raise physically and emotionally healthy children with adequate support and information. We encourage parents to be critical thinkers and advocates for their children, themselves, and their families. When you know better, you do better.

Our vision is to help create peaceful families and communities by providing current, trauma-informed, brain-friendly research and information to those who interact with our kids at home, in school, and in our communities. 

Eligibility Programs and services are FREE for those eligible through Performcare NJ. Private-pay and scholarships available also.
